With the feels like temps in the triple digits im staying home, this old man dont like the heat. It's funny as we age how our tolerances for certain things change.

This is why during the summer months I wear board shorts and flip flops out in the boat. When I get hot just jump in for a minute then get back to fishing.

I learnt a lesson years ago about wearing flop flops and sandals or even barefoot in a boat...it's called sun burnt feet and it is not a very pleasant thing...lol...im just to sexy for shorts...lmao

Just don't try that with the Tommy Biffle Nuthuggers. Might injure something special.

Ya. Gotta watch the tops of the feet for sure. Also the tops of the thighs right above the knee where the shorts end. I'm not the quickest learner but in both those cases it only took one lesson. Sunscreen is applied liberally.

On a similar subject, does anyone actually use those hip new "buffs" that have become so popular the last couple of years? I understand sun protection but man I just don't think I would ever want to wear cloth or fabric over my head and face like a friggin' burka. Not knocking those that do wear/use them but I would 1000% rather put on some sun block on my face/ears/nose/neck vs "buff".

I only have one other person that thinks it's still special. But unfortunately, at this point it only is special on special occasions.

I think those buffs and the darling little hand thingies come in a package deal when you buy a jersey. You know, like a Shaw Grigsby starter kit.

I have actually intended to buy a buff a time or two to help keep me from getting sunburned, but I will be danged if I am gonna give $20 or more for a fancy bandanna.  Besides it would probably be forgotten at home, and be sitting right next to the 2 or 3 bottles and cans of various sunblock that I forgot to take.  Would think by now that I have enough of it scattered around I could always find some, but you would be wrong.

I admit to wearing the "Face Burqa".  I wear it all the time when I am out on the water and the sun is over the trees.  I also use sun screen.  Had a few pre-cancerous growths removed a couple of years ago, so I am not taking any chances.  Sun screen works, except it doesn't do a good job on your lips. 

It is hard to find a buff that has the same logos as my jersey.  My many sponsors insist that if I have one of their logos on my jersey, then I must have it on the buff.

I don't see how fishing in the buff is  gonna prevent sunburn.
