Thanks for the reminder. That is one fishing tip that everyone should thoroughly understand.

It definately makes you think. We take early spring fishing like its nothing. I keep my ring close by in the spring especially.

Great read, one can never be too informed on the dangers of being on the water, especially on the big lakes.

One of the challenges at this time of year is trying to be safe but also comfortable. The air temperatures are usually too warm to wear a full floatation suit, so I usually opt for my auto-inflateable vest. It's better than nothing, but I would still get hypothermia if I were to ever end up in the drink for an extended period of time.

What do you guys do to stay safe on the water when it's too hot for floatation gear, but the water is freezing?
