I was wondering what everybody wears to fish on their SOT's.  I haven't bought a Kayak yet...but I'm chomping at the bit.
Then I got to thinking about clothing - dry suit- wet suit?  No idea, I was personally thinking about my breathable waders with some kind of dry top.  Any advice?  Thanks.

There's a sticky thread detailing the answer to your question.  Posting from a phone, otherwise I'd give you the link.

Dress for immersion.  Air temp can be 80 plus and the water in the ocean can be down in the 50s or lower.  I wear a drysuit whenever I am on the ocean.  Some use wetsuits, which might be a better idea to a certain extent, since the wetsuit doesn't lose insulation if it tears or a zipper is left open.  My first trip out on the ocean was wearing waders and a mountaineering jacket.

In short, a dry top and waders is a cheap, yet effective setup.

Yup...that's what I was thinking.
Maybe later a Farmer John....ebay, or craigs.
But since I have waders....all I need is a semi-dry top (dry tops are a little spendy for me right now).
 
Thanks again guys!
