As the temperature drops, here are some cold weather boating tips.

The early autumn days may still be warm, but the temperature is dropping every night and the lake water is getting colder. If you are heading out for a late season boating adventure or looking for the fall fishing bite, are you prepared in case of accidental immersion? The coldness of the water could take your breath away.
