We have talked a lot about sailing and why not? Sailing is the reason that we offer our incredible selection of sailing specific sunglasses. All sailors, however, seem to have a pull towards fishing, and why wouldn't they? Aside from sailing, fishing is the ultimate in watersports.
Fishing comes in many different styles, intensity levels and schools of thought. The guy sitting in a lawnchair by the pond sipping a beer and watching a bobber for wiggle, is a totally different kind of fishing than than the gun and run flats fly fishing. The difference is clear, distinct and completely irrational; both of our anglers are trying to accomplish the same goal. It is sometimes perceived that fly fishing is somehow more pure or civilized than bobber fishing. This is a completely false idea; fly fishing for a species such as bonefish is an exercise in futility.
The similarities between fishing and sailing are very close. Some days on the water are perfect, not a problem to be found. Fishing is the same way, the fish can be biting one day and then appear extinct the next. Fish are such finicky creatures that sometimes they won't even eat the bait that is right in front of their noses.
To give yourself an advantage, it is critical that you have the proper sunglasses. The polarization on our sailing sunglasses is ideal for fishing. Your eyes are protected from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays and fish will appear extremely clear in the water. Please visit our storefront for the ultimate in sailing sunglasses. They are great for fishing too.
