Keeping feet warm? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

This entire hooping season I've been wearing shorts, an undershirt, long sleeve shirt and jacket, long cotton socks, Carhart bibs and plastic fishing boots. On my hands I wear some of the long green plastic kitchen gloves and over that I wear some of the fabric work gloves with the anti slip material on the palm, the brain gets covered with one of those beanies with the ear flaps on the side. I'm 5'11" and weigh 230, I'm sure that my all winter coat is a factor in my not freezing my arse off.

I do with what I have because right now I can't afford the other stuff and its worked for me. You don't have to go out and spend a ton of money that you don't have, get creative. I'm sure at some point I've visit OEX and get that splash jacket and waders with the boot attached but for now I'll have to settle with what I have.

Socks made from polypropylene wick water away from your skin. They are often used in the ski environment. I think you can get gloves made of the same material. You might want to check into these kinds of products.
