Kayak Clothing? cold weather.. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hi All,

Im new to kayak fishing and thinking of heading up to Leffingwell to try some ling cod fishing. What specific type of clothing do I need. Are there waders, or special jackets I need to wear? I believe water is mid 50 but air temp should be in 60-70 I guess.

Thanks

NorCal guys may weigh in, but I'd bet breathable, stockingfoot waders with your favorite sweatpants on underneath will keep you toasty. Add a paddling jacket and you'll be downright hot!

Got a cheap pair of waders if you’re interested

this jacket works well for mid-winter lobstering on the kayak here in SD. It would work up there as a good underliner.

Does a paddling jacket keep water out if you go in?
