{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Kayak-toon-SUP- in the winter?

Gene,

I have been kayak fishing through the winter for 5 or so years now? There is an excellent and very popular kayak winter fishery to be had in the Hampton Roads area from now until January.

That being said, you should dress right so you don't fall in and never come back.

In the past I have used a dry suit although a bit pricey. If thats too far out of your price range, a dry top + waders can achieve the same thing. The point is to be able to fall into the water and not get wet. Even a mustang survival suit would not get the job done.

Another thing to note is that I have a hard boat (not inflatable). My kayak is an ocean kayak 13 which in a way almost performs better when the conditions are bad out. 

Here is a link with more info on cold water gear: http://www.angling-addict.com/2013/10/cold-weather-gear-for-kayak-fishing.html

If you are interested in making the drive south for some winter fishing, you should follow TKAA.org or Pirates of Lynnhaven. A lot of those guys will go out and fish together in the winter.
