    Re: keeping tour fingers warm

    (1) Vaseline on your hands.
    (2) Latex Surgical Gloves
    (3) Kenai Glacier Grip Fingerless Gloves, if you require more warmth.

    I'm telling you, try it. You have surgical precision with the latex gloves, but they keep the wind off your hands and the Vaseline helps provide a little insulation layer. For this time of year, it's awesome. Now, when it gets really cold you need the additional fingerless gloves or some flip-top mittens or something, but I'm telling you....go buy you a cheap box of latex surgical gloves. You'll look like you are ready to give a prostate exam, but I really like it for cold weather fishing. You can tie small knots, operate reel, etc. without being hindered of having to constantly take off and put on gloves.

    I've heard of the latex surgical gloves before and have a box of them I'll throw some in the boat and give them a try. Can't hurt.

    I'm a two finger typer meant to say "your". Need to proof read before I submit more often. Glad to see I'm not the only one with typo errors as I've noticed others do it also.

    I Know 1 guy that uses the Latex gloves for winter fishing. He seems to think it works. I am not as sure.

    It's definatly gonna help. They'll keep your hands dry and not expose your skin to the elements. I definatly will try the latex gloves.

    You can't go wrong OR beat the latex gloves. Use them, an if the hands are still cold, then pull a "finger mitten over them". See you on the CR or LC next week??????

    Sad news,I'm in Southern Indiana to attend funeral on Saturday and now it turns out my Sister-in law has been admitted to the hospital with suspected heat attack. Doesn't look like I'll be back in the Cumberland region until at least Monday PM, at best.

    Thanks much, just got a call and test results weren't good. She will be having emergency open heat surgery as soon as they can get it scheduled.

    Thanks for your thoughts.
