Probably more sophisticated answers but I keep these in my pockets this time of year

I hate having cold hands.
I use simple neoprene rubber gloves. They don't keep my hands warm, but they will keep them dry, and I can cut crabs, de hook fish and re tie with them on.
The other key to keeping hands warm is a hot bite!

The blackfish were chewing. But Saturday I couldn't buy a nibble. Maybe time to hang it up. In a small center console boat, its cold out there.
Which brings me to another point. How do you keep your hands warm??
It seems that if you're warm with gloves then you lose the dexterity. It's a catch 22. I was out this past Saturday and I had rechargeable hand warmers in my jacket pockets. I would keep them in for a bit to warm up then back out they came. I feel once the wind is not a factor and you have some sun out then the hands were fine all day, especially being anchored up.

I look forward to the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mostly comm. Tog and sea bass fishing with a friend. Since cod is closed I'll hang em up after Christmas.
Wind machine has been relentless this fall. Hopefully that changes......

Montauk trip canceled tomorrow. That leaves my December 4th trip and then that will probably be it for me this year.
