Any market for us over 40 guys and gals that love to fish but can't fish in tropical sun all day or when the tides demand it.

I've seen a cockpit misting system on larger sportfishers that reportedly drops the temp 20 degrees. Otherwise, the best thing for a flats boat is a nice big T-top!

My solution: fish at night and early morning. If its too hot for you, then the flats are probably too hot for the fish anyway. This time of year, i dont bother going out until 6 p.m. or so. I live in Sebastian Florida.

I used to bring a beach umbrella and put it in one of the rod holders ont he side of the console. you cant run with it up, but it gives shade.
