Hi
After some advice from the kayakers on board......
I'm looking at getting the trident 13 over the prowler 13 any veiws ! And since that initialy I will be mostly summer fishing would a long john wet suit with a cag be suitable clothing. Looked at the dry suits but would these be to much for the summer months.
I already have a boat which I'm selling so I'm pretty much up to speed safety wise ie pfd's and the like.

There seems to be a lot of gear out there and a lot of choice so any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

Wet suit with no cag for the summer. Dry suit for the winter although alot of he lads use a dry suit all year round (safer).

No views on trident as ive never tried it.

As long as you 'dress' for the water temperature and not the air temp' then that is the general rule. Think 'will I be cold if I end up in the water for a long period'. At least you wont get sunburnt anywhere with a dry suit and if you get too hot you could always jump off for a dip to cool off.
