I remember the conversation as if it were yesterday. Ficious, or as I call him, Harry, was preparing for the upcoming ice fishing season in Michigan and invited me over to help him sort out jigs, rig lines, etc. It was October- it was cold and Harry is out in nothing but a T Shirt and jeans. He says he runs hot but that regardless, wearing lighter layers in October will help your body adapt to the cooler tempatures and allow you to be more comfortable on the ice.

T Shirts in October has been something I have preached ever since then. Although I type this in a sweater :) For those who can pull it off- the rewards are a more comfortable day on the bucket.

As for me, my temperature prep involves buying more propane canisters for my portable heater ;D

T-shirts in October @ 32 degrees = sinus infection for me.  I'll stick with hoodies and bonfires and warm spiced cider in October and Buddy Heaters in the shanty.  ;D

back in the 'late '70's-early '80's when we had real winters, no good equipment like we have today, i remember having to wait for it to warm up above 0 to fish. i was a lot younger and tougher then. now i have the best clothing, shanties, heaters---- why be cold. i get cold enough deer hunting.
