lippy Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 When fishing in cold weather. Take a ice cream bucket, start your engine and let it heat up. Place the bucket under the spray outlet. Fill it up. Place hands in bucket to warm them up. Dry with towel. Now you got warm hands!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger20 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 nice tip lippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beer batter Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Not sure I'd want to do that. Water shouldn't be coming through there that warm, plus it may have a scent of exhaust/gas on it if you're running a 2 stroke. Now you've got wet hands that smell like gas, that are a bit warmer than when you started.I'll opt for a pair of gloves. But, to each their own.

paceman Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Yeah I guess that could work in a pinch but hopefully I have a pair of gloves around.........Is that water really that warm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmannd Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Take a hand warmer and tape it around the handle of your fishing rod. Keeps your hand nice and warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

311Hemi Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 More than a couple times I have run my hands under the water coming out of my dads 20hp tiller to warm them up!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Head Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Thats not a bad idea lippy. Under the right very cold circumstances that could work. Thanks for sharing the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddsbyday Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Gloves can be wet. Even your extra pairs. When your hands are really cold with no motor or ice cream bucket pe-e in a pop can. It is heaven. You will get about 5 min. of warmth. If you have no pop can you can still warm your hands up. I would go for the gloves too. Sometimes things go bad. At that point scent does not matter. Great tip before the motor freezes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne123 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Neat idea. Of course be careful to not fall in - cold day - numb hands. On some boats this would be easy to do and others i t would not be so easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
