I've fished in sub freezing temps. Good cold weather gear can really make
it a decent experience. No matter what keep your feet warm and dry.

The coldest I've ever fished from a boat in was 17 degrees with a 25 mph
wind from the north. The first lake I went to, I launched the boat through
ice, but within 50 yards, had the Cobra stuck on top of the ice when it got
so thick the boat wouldn't break through any more.

At that point, I had to put the boat back on the trailer and go find a
different lake where the wind was beating at the landing and there was no
ice.

We caught fish that day, but it was tough going and reels didn't last much
more than an hour before they froze solid! I went through every reel in the
boat before the guys called it a day.
