Air temps are cooling here in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. I expect most fishing days will be spent in the 50-60's from now until March.
I spent last winter fishing the saltwater marsh on a paddleboard, and I eventually found that quick-dry nylon pants and neoprene "paddling" wetshoes were the winning combination for me. However, this winter will be spent exclusively aboard boats. I am lucky enough to be fishing out of my own boat this year (I'm working on a post for our watercraft forum), as well as fishing in boats of a few new acquaintances made over the last year.
What is the recommended boat wear for the colder months? What do ya'll wear when cruising the Sound aboard your vessels? I won't be fishing much in the rain, but my boat isn't exactly a "dry ride", and I actually expect to be colder running the boat than I have been paddling the board.
My first thought is bibs, but I would love input/specific product recommendations.
