It is warming up, the gear is ready to go, and many of us are heading out on the water. So, it is time for my annual reminder:

GET SOME SUNBLOCK AND
WEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't risk a bad sunburn or skin cancer when it can easily be prevented! Skin cancer is no fun-I know first hand. So save yourself some pain and trouble and protect yourself

Thanks for the reminder but I wear long sleves and a hat 24/7 365.

Very good advice, I've already gotten a sunburn on my bald head this year. It was cloudy outside, cool and windy, I didn't even consider sunblock. A hat and long sleeves or at least a good 35spf or higher sunblock is a must!

Good reminder Reb. I've totally redone my tackle storage system this year, going from a large hard plastic box which I loved, but was very heavy, and a large plastic box for my plastics to two soft tackle bags with individual plastic storage boxes and many extra pockets. I love it! But I definately put the sun screen in the front pocket just so as not to forget. It's just toooooo important to forget! I hope all the young blooods in here take this advice seriously.

My father died from melanoma that metastasized to his liver, spine, and brain. All from a small cancer on the side of his lower leg that he let get to the size of a quarter before doing anything about.

I'm not saying sunblock would have saved my Dad, but I'm sure he wished he had worn it more often.

I keep a tube of sunblock in my boat glove box at all times, for myself and passengers.

RB, I wear it right on through the winter. Can't be too careful.

What is a good sunblocker brand to use?
