What do you guys have for rain gear?

Do you wear waders and a "jacket" or something else?

I wear waders and a dry top in the yak' but need something on top when fishin' from shore in the rain.

Thanks folks,
Rob

What Bigfish said. But I usually wear a winter hat under my hood due to the evil balding god.

I got them all! ;)
Sea Gear
Helly Hansen
goretex
wet suit jacket ( forgot the brand name)

I mostly wear the goretex cause its light weight. in a huuricane , the wet suit top will keep you dry except for what you sweat. sea gear and helly hanson are in between. neoprene and verlcro closures and storm flaps , even on the pockes. Bottoms is waders if bad are just jeans that get wet if just showers. Had grundens but I sweat like a pig in them.

I thought all rappers thought it was winter all year long ? you mean them all going bald . hahahahahahahahaha

I use a top and bottoms my top is from the waist up and my bottom is waist down . I thought we were all made the same ? guess not !

I have for wading jackets , a pro rainer breathable , a hodgeman sportsman breathable and a pvc wading jacket . I also wear my waders either my breathables or my hippers or my canvas waders .

Right now, waders and a Helly Hansen Imperitech jacket from the beach, ProRainer rainpants and the same jacket from the rocks.

But I'm hoping an Aquaskinz is in my near future :devil:

Grunden's in warm weather.

Bronco neoprene in freezing weather.

I had a chance to check out the Aquaskinz, they are schweet, but, like BP, I'm trying to find out where in New England we can buy them.

LOL at rick . hair floating down river now thats a nightmare . just remember you have to deal with the wife after I have short hair . red heads can be very mean ! firery mad ! Im afraid of her ! LOL . I went out last night for some small blues was looking for weaks . The addition ran into a delay because the town wants a curtain drain installed around the foundation . no big deal just push the trades back a day or two . ive been knocking the large trout dead in " the river " . Im heading up to the cape for a few days either 6/4 - 6/6 or 6/8 - 6/10 . Rick you still heading out there Sundays and mondays ?

I like to party with sordid people ! I fit right in !

Hello Corey,
It was really nice to meet you this past weekend. Kadir and I look forward to fishing with you soon. Also, please send my regards to Peter, Iron Mikeand Tattoo! BTW: Montauk was alive with many big fish up to 45 lbs. and they are heading your way!




Hi Folks,
Striper134 is correct, Saltwater Edge will have them in stock very soon with ample orders of the Hurricane (High-grade neoprene) and the Evolution (Light wear) AquaSkinz Drytops. Also, Quakers will be carrying a minimal order for starters.

We have been really busy lately but we are currently scheduled to be in your area (Massachusetts) during the first week of June! At this time we have a few shops in mind but if you like to recommend your favorite shop… we will be happy to evaluate.

Enough of this biz stuff.... Can we talk about fishing? Since we are going to be in your fishing playgrounds... What’s happening in your area? cough it up and give the scoop. :)

“Crazy” Alberto
