Eyes on First Ave - Be my Costa Model for a month -Free Costa's, Shirts and Gear!

[EyesOnFirstAve]

Hi everyone! I am looking for a fresh face for a new Eyes on First Ave Costa Ad campaign that will run in June. So I thought we could have some fun with this!:) Send me your best picture of you in your Costa's in a fishing environment. Please post the picture in this thread. You have two weeks to send me your picture. Last date will be May 31th, 2016. Eyes on First Ave will select the top five pictures at the end of the two weeks based in part from the feedback on this post. After that a new thread will be put up and NJFers will be given an opportunity to vote on which picture they like best. Eyes on First Ave will not decide on who the Costa model will be, you will! Whoever gets the most votes will have their picture in my Ads on the Seastreak Ferry, The Monmouth Journal and the NJFishing Banner for a month. The lucky winner will be the Face of Eyes on First Ave for a month. What's in it for you? First and most important - the fame, glory and bragging rights for years to come.:D:D:D In addition you will also get a pair of Costa's valued up to $279.00 and a boat load of Costa Gear. Shirts, Hats, Retainers, Koozies etc... Good Luck and can't wait to see your pictures!

Agreed the fish looks great but I think they are looking for a Human Model:p

[dales529]

Ron Sr would be a great candidate as he looks younger and more fishy than most of us!

[Reelron]

'Bout time you got the Togfather in on this! I agree with Capt. Ron you need an older, more mature type for your next campaing. And who better than me, as I will be 68 in June!

[EyesOnFirstAve]

Great pics so far, comments and suggestions! Keep them coming. Sorry Chris, I did not realize you were going to catch some heat on this one. :D

I've learned one thing from this thread. We are a bunch of ugly mofo's:D

[yeaguy85]

Eyes on First Ave you know who to PIC ...

[EyesOnFirstAve]

Hi everyone! Just want to say thanks for sending in your pictures so far, they are all fantastic. I disagree with shrimpy, all of you would make a fine Eyes on First Ave Costa Model. :) It will definitely be difficult to narrow it down to the top 5 at the end of the first part of this contest on May 31st. After May 31st, a poll will be put up and all of you will be voting on the winner. Please keep the pics coming!

I just wanted to clarify a few things that I have had questions on.

1. Only one picture can be submitted but if you find another one that you like better after you already posted just delete/edit the first post.
2. The picture has to be in a fishing environment but there does not need to be a fish in the picture. On a boat, at the beach etc...
3. Pictures must be posted on this thread. I have had a few people send me pictures to facebook. I can not transfer pictures from facebook to this thread.

Please let me know if you have any questions! Have a great day.

Hey! This thread just got a 4 star rating:rolleyes: That means there is room for one more "star" when all the votes are cast in the end...:D:D:D

[FASTEDDIE29]

Yo! I resemble that!!!!;)

[dakota560]

Jamie.....check out Capt Paul's (Bounty Hunter) post from today in this forum. There's a picture of a family from his charter with a 51 lb bass and they all have shades on, the girl in the picture wearing what might be a pair of Costa's. Not sure if you're looking for a male or female new look but the girl in the picture looked pretty stylish. If you were interested and she's interested in the contest, maybe you could make a post on that thread and ask her to post her picture here.

Just a thought.

[thehammer]

Some great pictures, it is going to be tough to just pick one

FOSI ON !!!!!:cool:

[Sharkyispy]

Decided to up my game a bit and take a pic in NJ territory and so that the Costas could truly be seen. A shot from Manasquan Inlet....lots of tough competition here.....

[chasin'tail]

[DMac]

I have to submit the photo of my new fishing partner my black lab named Mako. I wanted to try to put my pair of fantail costas on him on a sunny day to see how he would do with them and I was able to take multiple pictures and he never tried to throw them off he actually seemed to like the eye protection from bright sun. I would love if costa would develop a line of sunglasses for our four legged family members that join us on the water. I believe that protecting there eyes is as important as protecting mine from suns harmful rays. If i win I will pick out a pair that fit him best and do any slight modification or add straps to help them stay on him through the day on the water.

Thanks for the heads up, great picture and a nice 51lb bass. I will send them a message.

Which is your good side? I don't see a picture unless that was intentional. :D

This a a great picture of your new fishing buddy Mako with your Costa's on. He definitely looks comfortable with them on. I could not agree with you more about protecting your four legged baby's eyes. It would be great if Costa would develop a sunglass line and I will pass that recommendation along to my rep. There is another company that makes sunglasses for dogs and I do carry them in my store. They are called Doggles. They come in five different sizes and the lenses are shatterproof, anti fog and provide UV protection. In addition they keep sand, dirt, debris etc... from getting in your dogs eyes. I recently got a puppy and felt the same as you so I did some research and found this line. They are $24.99 Here is a picture of my Theodore Bear(aka Teddy) sporting Camouflage Doggles in size small. There is a strap that goes under the chin and one that goes behind their head. I was pretty sure he would not keep them on but he seems to really like them. Plus he looks like a bad ass. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Bob! I did not realize that was Chris G (our current Costa Model). Hysterical.

[Legacy]

Jamie - you should remember these two lads when they bought their Costas at your store last winter. John and Hunter are now 10 and 9 and are my main crew on Legacy. Here they are holding matching 27 pound striped bass caught on May 29th helping their grandmother celebrate her 71st birthday.

A great crew deserves great sunglasses. Thanks for helping them select theirs - after a season of hard use they are as good as new.

Of course I do and your welcome. :) Glad your new crew and their Costa's are working out for them. Great picture, good luck. :) I hope Grandma had a great 71st Birthday.
