mike farrants Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 i know you will all mock me for wearing gloves once to hold a thornie - but this is a serious question..... I need to get the father in law some gloves for winter fishing for xmas - the type with fold back thumb and forefinger so he can still bait up - any recommendations?

mike farrants Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 bad luck - theres no green on pugwash - "From painting a boat the colour of grass to having anything of that hue on board, even little specks on ropes, the colour green is not a sailor's friend. The association is likely to be with land, in fact seamen thought painting a vessel green would ensure it'd run aground." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 @mike farrantshave you got a heater fitted? If not then that will be the biggest game changer for your Dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike farrants Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 no heater - good call though on a diesel heater....... the wheelhouse does offer a lot of shelter whilst fishing though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPSguru Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I use Thinsulate gloves to drive the boat and once I get to the mark and start fishing I change to fingerless gloves , either Savage Gear, BCF, or Muddy Fox. mike farrants 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Sealskinz are awesome but don’t do fingerless and are ££ Marigold gloves are good to keep hands dry as usually when you’ve got wet hands that when you freeze… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have vents coming out onto the dashboard in the cuddy to warm your hands up. Be warned though it might double your fuel consumption.

suzook12 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 If you have an outboard, you could sit him on the cowling and tell him to hold his hands under the pee hole.... Velcro pads could come in useful..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
