Thread: Costa Del Mar's

All I can say is, "Wow!" I finally got a pair of Costas for the 1st time last week. I had to get prescription, so it was a big decision.

Sat. was my first time getting to use them fishing, and the 2nd I walked on the pier, I could tell the difference. I saw the gulf in a completely different light. I see could see changes in depth. There was a reef or something to the right at the mid octi that I had never seen before. The water was just amazing.

Once I was at the end fishing, I could see Spanish, ladyfish, King, Shark even the Cobia. The 1st Cobia, I pulled my bait away cause I thought it was a shark. Remember, I had never seen a Cobia in the water till Sat.

I could tell what each fish was. It was crazy. I was super excited.

Later in the day, I had my Cobia jig and looked down and there was a huge Cobia right under me. He looked like he was swimming on his side. At first, I didnt throw on him cause I thought he was hooked. Then, I threw on him and let my jig sink. As the jig came back up, so did the Cobia. He was inches away from my jig, but I got caught in a kids line and he turned away. Sonny ended up hooking him.

So, I love these glasses. I still cant get over that Cobia being so close, though.

If yo dont have a pair of Costa's, GET SOME! There is an amazing World underneath the water that you can see. But beware, if you see a Cobia and miss it, it will leave you depressed.

hey have RX dealers on their site. Just be careful. The 1st place I went to told me to go find the Costa frames I wanted and they would pop the lens out and put their lenses in.

I then found a place that ordered the Costa's with 580g lenses with Green Mirror.

Welcome to the family :banana:...Costas are the only shades I'll ever wear.

Where did you get them

I got mine in Tampa, cause that is where I am. There are several RX Costa dealers in Baldwin county, though.

Good way to put it. I am still amazed. Cant believe I have fished this long without them.

Jeb that's about the best example you can use!!

Bubba, I had been mulling over the decision and your testimony was enough. Thanks for the information. BTW, how long does it take you to drive to Tampa?
