Here's a link to kayak drysuits which are less restrictive than diving drysuits and a bit cheaper.
That's cold!!! Hypothermia is a definite possibility if that's the water temp. 5 mm as mentioned by Sea Rider would work for a while, but after 10 minutes or so would be cold for women. A 7 mm insulates longer - but it's difficult to enjoy yourself as you splash about because the thing is quite restrictive. As a scuba instructor the exposure protection I would recommend is a drysuit which allows you to layer your protection and is quite flexible. That said - a decent drysuit can cost you as much as a entry-level inflatable boat.

OUCH, I will just keep my booty on land and enjoy the sea view. I dont like cold water and I thought the wet suits didnt make you wet. Thanks for the info, but I would rather just watch the sea. Leave this madness to the surfing pros I see out there in wintertime.
I hope you have the greatest time fishing and I hope you land that 'Big Un' salmon, or codfish? There is nothing quite like fishing on your own boat!!!
I will post a pic of the exact little part I want to fish, its not where I can be sucked out to sea. I will prolly get a Salmon, cod and some other fish out there but I doint know the English names. Some quite ugly but deliciousCheers Zodiac! Most of my experience is based here in cold New England, or Alaska. Alaska being far tougher. Wetsuits are OK, but after a while in those temperatures my dive students (1/2 -3/4 hour) at 10C wearing 7 mm become uncomfortable. Some hypothermic which is not good. That said, they are underwater so perhaps that's not a fair comparison? I wear a drysuit and I can comfortably stay in 0C for about 45-60 minutes with the right under ware and argon gas to inflate the suit.
LOL regarding being able to yell to the houses nearby in the cold weather thread.
