: Hey Guys, Great sight. I'm new to kayak fishing and I'm hoping some of you more experienced folks could answer 2 questions for me. Wearing my 2/3mm surf wet suit out on the kayak gets very uncomfortable. What do you wear top and bottom in the winter in So.Cal? The second is about bait tank capacity. What size tank, gallon wise, do feel is large enough for the local macks/deans/smelt fishing? I have a fish 'n dive so weight, up to a point, isn't an issue. I'm not new to either paddling or fishing but, put the 2 together and I feel like I could use some advice. Thanks, MIke
I wear paddle pants and jackets. I prefer a farmer john when the surf is up. I'm not a huge fan of wetsuits just because of the comfort factor. But they are easier to move around in if you fall in the drink. If it's cold and the surf it up, I wear the paddle jacket with farmer john combo. Booties worn with both. Though I must admit that my NRS Hydroskin is the most comfortable suit I've worn yet. Double zippers in the front makes things a little easier out on the water. It's a combo of Neoprene and other stretch materials. It's really meant as a first layer, but it's been great for me...worn solo in a moderate climate like So Cal..
NRS has a large catalogue of splashwear, wetsuits, etc; Even if you don't purchase anything from them, their online catalogue is a great reference for info and pictures. I learned a lot about paddle gear by just searching through their site.
