Exclamation Rain Gear...

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

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.

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.

The first shipment of 600 Aquaskinz is spoken for, from what Alberto told me.

Already sold in several LI shops.

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
