Shot some sheepies today.

ClemsonTiger11 · 01-02-2012, 09:59 PM

Went out with Jason and his little girl today to try and shoot some sheepies. My wet suit got a good workout in the 56 degree water but had a good time! The water was really choppy and it was cold but everyone hung in there. We managed five sheepies with two being in the four pound range. I started out shooting pretty good but my accuracy went downhill after about an hour and a half in the water. Thanks to Jason for driving the boat and reloading for me. His little girl hung in there in the cold wind, a real trooper. I am glad to be home and to have a nice warm shower.

I don't know how you guys stand that cold a$$ water... I almost froze my azz off when it was ~65* in a 3 mil... Does a 5 or 7 mil make that much difference ???

With all the wind today I was actually warmer once I got into my wetsuit. Once I got in the water it was pretty cold, but I was excited and had to pee pretty bad at that point haha. I have a 7/5 mil suit. It is the only one I have ever has so I can't really compare.

Dude I dont know how you warmed up. My feet are STILL cold and I didnt even get in the water. Im gonna have to grab me a wetsuit and get down there with you. Once it warms up of course.

Don't worry your work will come later. Someone has to clean the fish and you have the new cleaning station and electric filet knife. ;-)

A 5 mil with a hood is a big difference over a three. Take some jugs of HOT water in a cooler with a towel to insulate the jugs. Use 'em pre dive (pour into your suit) and post dive. If your on a center console, you're pretty much screwed lol.

Thanks for the report. Glad to know I'm not the only crazy one who'll do that for sheepies and a trigger fix!
