See The Difference

You may not put much thought into the color of your sunglasses lenses, but it plays a bigger role than you may think when you're fishing on the Texas Coast. Different weather and water conditions require different lenses to see fish and objects under the water. Find the lens color that's right for you on your trip to Port Aransas.

Offshore

Deep sea fishing or any fishing miles from the coast requires the utmost sun protection. Lens tints like gray and blue are best for offshore fishing, where the sun is most intense. Dark grey polarized lenses give the best brightness protection on open waters, which act like a mirror even on cloudy days. The blue lenses match the color of the offshore waters and cut down on the glare that reflects off the surface.

 

Bay Fishing

Lens tints like amber, green, and brown are best for inshore fishing where water is shallow and lighting varies. This includes coastlines, flats, and bays. These tints adapt to a wide range of lighting conditions for excellent coverage while also boosting color. Inshore anglers can use contrast-enhancing tints to their advantage to better spot and track fish underwater. Polarization is also key for cutting glare and increasing visibility.

All-Around Use

If you looking for a lens that you can wear in any situation, yellow and grey lenses are for you. Yellow lenses are a great option for low-light conditions and overcast skies. They are a good choice for people who engage in a variety of types of fishing. Grey lenses are the best choice for general all-around use. You can use these glasses inshore, offshore, nearshore, golfing, playing sports, and being outside in general.

Lens Features

Polarization

Polarized lenses are a must for any angler, no matter what type of water you’re in. Polarized lenses are treated with a film that blocks out reflective, horizontal light while allowing vertical light to pass through. Not only do they protect your eyes, but they also eliminate glare so you can read the water more easily.

 

Mirror Coatings

A mirror coating is a reflective layer applied to the front side of the lens as an extra layer of sun protection. They’re mostly cosmetic, but certain colors can add a touch of contrast. Blue mirrors add a tinge of yellow, while green mirrors add a pink or purple tint. This is a great way to keep your eyes safe from the sun while looking good!
