T-shirt, Shorts, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen. Winter time I bundle the frick up, the big girls like to bite when it is cold.

I usually pick up the cheapest long sleeve shirt Walmart has and roll with that.

Dude, $75 for a long sleeve dry fit shirt??? WTF?



I feel the same way, but some people just have to style and profile when even doing the most mundane things.

As for me, cargo shorts, T-shirt, comfortable shoes---no socks and sunglasses this time of year and I'm good to go.

Lol everyone saying that aftco is overpriced has never spent the day fishing in one, and are probably the same people that spend $400 at academy to get every bright pastel colored Columbia button down shirt available

Aftco hands down has some of the most comfortable long sleeves to spend 12 hours baking in the sun in. Not a huge fan of their shorts though. I like the PFG shorts but they don’t really seem to hold up well. As much as I hate Huk, the pair of shorts I have from them are actually pretty damn good.

And of course no fishing baws wardrobe would be complete without a pair of xtratuf ankle boots.

These have been my best purchase in a long time. Good for everything from catching a tuna to mowing grass.

Water didn’t help me. 15 melanomas and countless basil cells. Still kicking and still stay in the sun a good bit. I do wear sunscreen though because I’m tired of being cut on

I have a bunch of the long sleeve shirts I get for gifts. I only wear them in winter though. Came across some the pro redfish tour in Delacroix this Saturday. Those baws were wearing some sort of racing suit. Not sure why they do it.

You’re trying to act all low maintenance but yet bring a razor to shave on a fishing trip?

Usually columbia long sleeve terminal tackle shirts, magellan fishing shorts and xtra tuff flip flops. I usually can find the columbia shirts on amazon for around $15-20 if you arent too picky with the colors. My under armour fishing shorts are nice and have held up well the past few years too.

Nothing's going to help you but covering up or sunscreen; predisposition to skin cancer is largely genetic.

Long sleeve Magellan tech shirt.
Huk fishing gloves
Magellan neck gaiter
Shorts
Salt Water Sportsman shoes
Tilley hat.

I find the long sleeve tech shirts and gloves cooler in temp than wearing sunscreen.

Use code TRF and you get 15% off. He is a YouTube guy I follow.
Use this code on the Aftco site? I like aftco stuff, especially at a discount.

True, and it doesn’t have to be the pricey stuff. I have a mix of no-name and name brand stuff I caught on sale, and they all work well. I hate wearing sunscreen so it works out well.

My wife started buying me Habitat long sleeve shirts. They are incredibly comfortable and cool. I wear either a bathing suit or columbia pants. Keeps me way cooler in the sun than regular shorts and t-shirt.

I really like aftco colors and designs but they fit like shite. Chest and forearms are too small and arms and shirt length are long as frick. Doesn't make any sense.

AFTCO is the only answer here. Best fishing clothes made imo
