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.

Gotta say, bought a pair of Oakley's for the first time a few months ago. Always wore Costas. So far, I'm very, very impressed. Great warranty for the first two or three years, and if you (or a friend) is military they have a 30% off discount.

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.

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.

Oakley has always worked for me. Their shallow water lenses are legit.

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.
Posted on 9/9/20 at 2:59 pm to jdavid1
Yup. I was extremely surprised when I tried them on.

Any options for the OT poors?
