Summer Fishing Clothing?
 
Which brand of fishing cloths do you prefer to where during these HOT HOT summer months? Do you prefer the dry fit shirts or light fishing shirts with pockets?

Also, those face mask with the art work on them, are they worth it?
I see a few people wearing them while fishing.

Columbia
Under armor
Megellon

I'm also [emoji102] for a Raging Cajun fishing shirt.

BassYakR 07-14-2014 07:16 AM

the thinnest material fishing shirts I can find. Yes the face masks work great to keep the sun off your face and neck.

Got a couple of long sleeve, mojo "t shirts" from lake Charles tackle and like them.

BuckingFastard 07-14-2014 07:18 AM

****s should have the rajun cajun shirt here in lake charles or not sure if there is one in lafayette.
i like columbia and certain magellans. you really have to try them on and see which "style" of each one that fits you the best because some are meant for big bellies and some are meant for big shoulders and some fit like a trash can. they are all different.

BassYakR 07-14-2014 07:19 AM

Yeah I also like the long sleeve performance shirts. But fat kids like me cant wear dat.

BuckingFastard 07-14-2014 07:26 AM

yea if youre a fat person youll have to pick the other shirts. my favorites are the more fitted ones and long sleeve

Anyone tried the Columbia Zero clothes (shirts and especially the neck gaiter)?

I have a couple of Buff's and in the middle of summer they just don't seem to cool well.

MathGeek 07-14-2014 08:39 AM

I wear some nice fishing shirts at times, but they are no more comfortable while fishing than a thin plain white cotton t shirt. I like the pockets though, and they do look good.

yea thats always been a lose lose to me cause if you do then youre hot and if you dont then you look like a racoon and need to cut your nose off from the burn!

Goooh 07-14-2014 09:33 AM

I dress like I'm going to the gym, which is the same way I dress to go to the store, and the same way I dress to do yard work and go to sleep.

Under armour. Adidas, Nike, etc... All supper light and wicking

Don't skimp here and don't buy the Columbia Tee Shirts. The snag on everything and the threads pull super easy. Absolute waist. I have under armor clothes from 3 yeast ago that get worn, washed and beaten every week, sometimes twice a week - no snags, no fading, for the same. Well worth the extra in my book, just wish they didn't have logos on them....

BuckingFastard 07-14-2014 09:44 AM

under armour is the bees knees

bayouchub 07-14-2014 09:46 AM

I make sure to wear the pattern buff for the fish im in pursuit of. I find it keeps you cooler this way.

i have one of a dirty prostitute... smells weird but always brings in the fish.

Montauk17 07-14-2014 10:41 AM

I been wearing the nike dry fit shirts...not a fan on the fishing shirts with pockets. The under armor shirts are nice too.

Don't think that's an issue with alpha. He's a freakin world class athlete. Literally.

They are all about the same. I like Under Armour fishing shirts bc they seem a little lighter, and are very soft. Columbia just came out with some new ones that are very similar to the UA ones. They are both pretty expensive. Then they both came out with those ones that are supposed to keep you extra cool I guess but I aint spending $150 on a fishing shirt. Magellan and the older Columbias just have that rough feeling and are a little heavier. I like UA ones because of the zipper pockets. I put my phone in there and don't have to worry about it going overboard. My BIL's bro works for a sports apparel company and he gave me some Eddie Bauer fishing shirts yesterday that are pretty nice too. They have zipper pockets which I like, but are rough and heavier like the Magellan/old Columbias. I mostly wear long sleeves when I'm fishing bc I don't like to wear sun screen.

Bdub 07-14-2014 11:58 AM

I keep going back to one dry fit long sleeve, it doesn't have a brand on the tag but its a saltwater soul dry fit shirt...It's considerably cooler than my columbia long sleeve dry fit and probably cost half the price. As for the buffs, I had a couple and I wear them from time to time mainly in winter, I find they make my sunglasses fog up when properly worn.

alphaman 07-14-2014 11:58 AM

I'm going to wear my USA tights that I wear when I'm at practice. when you sweat it actually cools you off. It some high tech stuff

I have too big of a neck for buffs I guess. When just wearing them around my neck I feel like i'm choking so I always forget to bring it. My wife bought me a SIMMS one for my bday that is real nice though.

bayouchub 07-14-2014 12:04 PM

For some reason i still get a pretty good kick out of seeing people on the water wearing the "buffs".

I just can't wear them. They aren't comfortable at all. I have 3-4 of them and never wore one before really. I get sun spots on my neck bad during the summer that's the only reason I attempt to wear them. Guess its bc I never wear sun screen. :shaking:

Trim down for WHAT? excuse the Balding head. lol

BuckingFastard 07-14-2014 12:18 PM

i dont care how dumb i look if it allows me to not get burned. the only reason i got off the water at 1pm sunday was because i thought my feet were going to spontaneously combust from the sun and the fact i only brought sandals. i keep one in my boat and a long sleeve shirt. need to keep a pair of socks in there too i guess lol.

alphamn, what do you compete in?

:eek:U have to be joking to say that a 100% cotton shirt is equal to a performance or dri-fit material.:help:

I've fished a lot in both, and that is my personal experience. Maybe details depend on body type, natural insulation, fit, propensity to sweat, etc.

That's the best thing you've ever posted. I mean that as an absolute compliment too.

duckman1911 07-14-2014 09:11 PM

Its usually wranglers, work boots, tee shirt, Glock and or 1911. I tend to relax a little more when im fishing the beach though. I take off my boots.

rk3 07-15-2014 05:34 AM

SIMMS shirts are good, I normally buy one new fishing shirt a year to add to the collection..they all seem to get dirty and have a few fish stains on them. Long sleeved shirts that are light weight are nice. But no "fishing shirts" can wipe a water spot off my sunglasses. I find Columbia fades fast, but I have one Mojo that has held up too. Under Armor is nice, but the one I got for Christmas is black…not the best color for summer

mr crab 07-15-2014 07:34 AM

My favorite fishing shirt is the free cotton t-shirt I got when I signed up for my Delta Downs Racing rewards card

When you wear the best fishing clothes, you stang dem hawgs. DUH

BassYakR 07-15-2014 07:42 AM

My only complaint about fishing shirts or performance shirts is...... YOU CANNOT CLEAN OFF YOUR GLASSES WITH THEM. Columbia and Underarmor cost so damn much that they should provide me with a lil rag attached to the pocket.

One of my Columbia fishing shirts that was a gift(a very expensive one come to find out) has a little in the bottom corner on the front sewn into the back side of the shirt for cleaning glasses. Not worth what the short costs but I valiant effort by them.
