Just a baby then Greg.

I use insulated work gloves like from Screwfix / Toolstation they are cheap, durable and work well enough for me, I also use them in the garden. Wearing them while baiting up tends to make them stink so washing required after each trip if using bait. They are so cheap you could try cutting off the fingers you want bare to see if they are still ok, in fact I think I'll try that!

Looks like there is another window on Friday Anyone thinking of going out on the smaller tides?

Whatever you choose, if you can get hold of a pair of silk glove liners, they drastically change the game. I used to have RAF ones dating back to the days when they were flying unheated aircraft like Lancasters, absolutely brilliant. Personally, I like something like Buffalo Mittens which I always used in the mountains, water resistant rather than waterproof and I take them off to do anything technical. My other choice is waterproof Sealskinz, don't panic, not real seal skin! Not cheap but very good and they have 'sticky' fingers. Hope this helps. Terry.

The one's I had are nothing special, there from screwfix Site work gloves, I have a few pairs which I use round the garden as well, I like you can grip with them but not so thick you can't feel what your doing. kept my hand warm enough. I know you can get thermal one's but never tried.

Years ago lots of people seemed to use fingerless gloves. As it was always my fingers that were cold, I thought they were the worst idea ever. Then I tried some and changed my mind. The pair I had on Saturday were woolen, thinsulate lined ones and I was fine, even when they got wet. The main problem with them is that they do get wet with the bait and need washing ASAP after a trip. I have never found a lined pair that are more waterproof. or tried some seaskinz.

Well done. We were a bit further out Had half a dozen rays and a decent Spurdog Plus the usual dogs whiting pout and small conger. A really nice day out there except for the chilly breeze. Quite surprised that there were not many boats near us.
