I'f you are going to buy a shirt for sunny, hot weather I would recommend one of those guide style shirts from Cabelas or BassProShops. You may even find them at GI Joes. They are made of a nice thin, cool fabric just for fishing in the sun. Jim Rumann has several I see him wear. I don't think you can match what your looking for at the mall unless its got a sporting goods store. The one at the supermall may have a shirt like that... Any other shirt probably would be too hot.

Thanks, guys. See you at Potholes!

Rob's right about finding those thin long-sleeved shirts in the sporting goods stores.  Columbia Sportswear is a typical brand.  I have a couple of those shirts and they are great for sun protection without being too warm for hot days. 8)

The shirt I was wearing last night at the meeting is one like the rest of the guys were discribing Stu.  That is if you even noticed my shirt.
As for sunscreen, I reccomend the spray-on spf30 stuff from Nutregena(sp).  It works great and is not messy at all.

So Rob, did I tell you about the new buddy Russ found at Lake Sawyer with the fancy black speedo briefs?

Hey Stuie,  I got some of this stuff from Banana Boat called SPORT spf 15.  It is "ultra Sweatproof". 

I went out on Washington Sat.  I put this stuff on before I left home and washed my hands before I left.  I was in a short sleeve shirt all day.  And the sun burned.  I thought that my arms would be really cooked by that evening.  Not so.  It worked great.  But should have put more on my neck.

I could probably move into Mike W. neighborhood now.  REDNECK!

But anyway it really protected my arms.

BTW,  caught several keepers with a 3.6 SM Sat. and a 4.9 SM Sunday.  Mostly fishing boat houses on Lake Union.  I gave out several "pink slips" to house owners.  The ones that give the state statute for fishing around docks etc.  Most of them were pretty nice about it and if they were nice I would just move on.  But one old B@#%CH was real nasty.  After giving her the "pink" she still carried on.  Yelling that it was her rights to not have me fish around her "house".  And I said it was my "right" to fish there.  I fished there for about 20 min.  Just out of "throwing" range just in case.  But she was pretty old so I was still in casting distance.  LOL.  Boy, did I want to catch a fish there.  But no luck.  The 2 biggest ones still had eggs so they haven't spawned yet.

Hey Rich nice to hear you had a good day out on Lake Washington.  I have a new boat, just in case you didn't hear.  I was out on Washington saturday and today.  On saturday my only luck was under the I-90 bridge, I got a 2.5 and a 3.3 lb smallie.  Me and my brother went over to Union on wednesday.  I only caught 1, but didn't fish the boat houses.  Mostly the stretch by gasworks park.  BTW, what is a pink slip???  Any areas you particularly like?
