How to stay warm while fishing in winter

Aside from shopping the fishing supplies store for all the items you need, you also need some tips to help you stay comfy and warm while you fish in the chilly months. Here are four quick things to remember for your next fishing trip –

Stay dry to stay warm

The last thing you would want is to get wet while fishing outdoors in the winter. It is sensible to ensure you stay as dry as possible while you fish. Having a little towel in your pocket ready to wipe hands dry is a great idea. Having on waterproof outerwear and footwear is also a great warm to stay dry and warm.

Hats, gloves, scarves and warm socks

These fashion essentials are needed if you are going to be outdoors fishing for any period of time in the winter. Keep your head, neck and hands covered. Ensure you have on warm socks for more protection, and if you are the type that likes to keep the ears covered, some ear muffs may provide you more comfort and warmth.

Layer up

Ensure you have as many layers as you need on to regulate your body temperature. You can opt for fleece or microfleece upper and lower garments to keep you very warm and cosy. The very thick pairs will serve you well on chilly days. The whole idea is to be able to add or remove layers as your fishing day progresses. So get the layers on.

Stay hydrated

Ensure you drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Try to avoid hot beverages and alcoholic drinks as much as possible as they may cause you to need the bathroom a lot more frequently.

These ideas may sound like common sense but sometimes we need to remember the little things. It is very easy to get carried away with the whole idea of planning a fun fishing day and forget some very important things to help make the day safe and fun.

5 Small Business Tax Tips

Keep accurate records

It can be tricky to stay on top of finances especially when the business is really but it is important to ensure you keep accurate records. Once you have accurate records, the whole tax season will be less stressful as you will have the records ready which will ensure you pay the right tax quickly.

Hire a qualified accountant

The best way to have a stress-free tax season is to hire a qualified accountant if you can afford to. A quick online search will bring lots of results for qualified accountants in your area. You could also ask around for a recommendation. It is important you hire ac competent and qualified accountant, so do check certifications before you hire.

For instance, if you are thinking of checking accountancy membership organisations UK to find qualified accountants, ICPA is one to check. Qualified accountants are usually part of a membership organisation for accountants in practice in the UK, so it is worth checking to see if the accountant you are thinking of hiring is part of a membership organisation.

Start early

I am an early bird and I like to do certain things quickly. Filing the tax returns early means you don’t have to deal with the crazy last minute rush. It also means you don’t get any surprise last minute tax bill. Once you file your tax returns early, you can conveniently spread the payments for your tax bill and that alone takes the pressure off.

Use an accounting software

If you can afford it, use an accounting software to keep accurate records, provide accurate information, and help minimise errors. A simple spreadsheet can do the work for you but for an easier and faster experience, go for a quality accounting software.

Set money aside for your tax bill

This sounds like common sense but the truth is it is easier said than done. Have some money saved up for the tax bill definitely helps and takes the pressure off. If possible, put some money aside every month towards the tax bill.
