Re: More Fun In Cold Water!

Hi Spaghetti,

Nice quiet weekend here - time for the web My top is smoothskin - which means I pretty much start warming up when I get out. What I do is put plastic on the seat and drive home in my wetsuit. By the time I get home I'm still a little cold but not bad at all. If your suit is nylon out - then put on a windbreaker (light jacket - stops wind) as soon as you get out - maybe some warm-up type pants too - it's the air that makes you really cold if your suit has fabric on the outside - because heat is taken away as it dries. (same during breathe-ups)
The Walleye I saw (Pike-perch - exactly!) were moderately wary. Not careful and fast moving like Lake Trout - but not friendly like bass either. I had to remain motionless and get close to the bottom - then wait while they swam toward me from far away. I think they are difficult enough that I would not feel bad hunting them (also very good to eat!).

I was talking to Mark Labocetta about spearguns - he kept telling me I need to get closer to the fish. I told him 'I don't want to shoot fish I can get close to; I want to take pictures of them!' I have been having a great time picking a species for a subject, learning their ways and getting close-ups of them.
