True fishermen use what is needed for fishing that day, staying warm or cool, not getting sunburned, bug bit etc. and don’t give a damn about fashions. I use all of them now and then but a vest most. Sometimes a really not cool looking bug head net but boy am I glsd tp keep mosquitoes or black flies away!

Thanks Robert, i get that weekly also. The near shore water on the west coast of the bay at Fulton is apparently too chilly at 58 degrees. No one is catching anything the last several days. I will move farther afield to jetties and cuts. Next week promises warmer weather.... JCG

I am here til Feb 16th looking for tips on places to go for shore or pier fishing for trout, reds, flounder, etc
