I fish 99% the Biloxi Marsh and Proctors point. What sunglasses would be best for sight casting reds? Thanks for all replies!

It is really personal preference.
Some find X brand to work better than Y brand.
Some find X lens to work better than Y lens for Z activity.
To me for sight fishing really any water the Green glass lens from Costa are best.
Due to my eyes being very sensitive in sun light, I wear the Blue lens as they are a bit darker and block more light. I find these to work great as well, just not as great for sight fishing as the greens. For any fishing I would suggest frames that block sunlight from the side as this can be irritating. Be it by a thick/heavy side arm, or a frame that allows the lens to wrap around.
Then again, this is my opinion.
Before pulling the trigger I would try a friend's pair, or go to a store with a wide selection of brands/frames/lenses and try a few different pairs.

Green lens Costas. I have a pair I bought in 07 and they’re still the best I’ve had. I’ve had a a couple other Costas, Maui’s, Ray Bans, but the old Green lens Costas have been and still are by far the best for fishing.

Maui Jims for all uaes....

I had multiple pairs of Costas, the lenses scratch, the ear rubber doesn't stay. I switched to Smith Chromapop lenses and I haven't looked back. They are not owned by Luxotica, so that is a plus. I now have three pairs and am always looking on Steep & Cheap for sales. No longer a fan of the Costa's, too many issues.

I want to vent here about warranties.
Costa did a fine job with repair.
Maui Jim was dogshit.

Finding cool sunglasses with readers built in is the real challenge.

Not to hijack but I'm in the same situation as the OP. Anyone have experience with the BNUS Italian made glasses with the Corning glass polarized lenses? Run about $60 and see alot of good reviews

I just procured a pair of Leupolds and I’m very impressed. I like them better than my Coatas.
Since Costa was bought out their warranty ain’t as good as it used to be.
