Stopped into see Jamie on Friday to check out some Costas. She had a great selection to choose from and just got in 30 new styles. Found a pair of frame-less ones that my wife Ruth, Jamie and I agreed on so I ordered a pair with the exact lens and frame color I wanted..

Jamie and Shane were a real pleasure to meet and do business with. Great shop, great selection and nice people.

I get my Costas in a week so look out Chris... There's gonna be a new Costas model in town :cool:

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

A "walk off"? Like in Zoolander?...

Bring it Ger'!!!....

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Thank you Gerry! I am so happy that we found you the perfect pair of Costa's. Your Rockport 580's should be here in a few days. I look forward to the model showdown between you and Chris! LOL On another note, so great meeting you and Ruth. We had a blast at Off the Hook Friday night. Look forward to getting together again soon!

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Pleasure to hang out with you and Matt too Jamie. Looking forward to the new Costa's and giving that pretty boy model of your's a run for his money ;)

Great to see Billy from the Mad Gaffer and Chris from the K Kat out and about too.

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Jodie LOL! Thanks a lot Dad! Fun time at the Dive Monday night. Where are we going next? I think that Billy from the Mad Gaffer and Chris from the K Kat are stalking us, they keep showing up where we are. Weird, don't you think??? LOL It was nice meeting them both as well. I am liking these sponsor meetings. I think that Chris is really starting to get nervous about your modeling debut.

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Too funny Jo - uh I mean Jamie.... :D

I'm sure being your Dad :rolleyes: I get some preferential treatment (family first) so I'm thinking I can count on your support in my bid to become the new Eyes on First Ave Supermodel/Spokesperson, right :cool:...

Chris... I'm stacking the deck here and your time is runing out my brotha...

Another happy customer
 

Stopped in today with intentions of getting a different style than what i had, after trying them on decided to get a second pair of permits with 580 lenses. I was happy to see she had the other pair to try on and make a decision. Huge selection of frames which is great to be able to try them on and see which pair fits you the best. After getting my new pair, she is sending my old pair in for repair. Which keeps me from having to do it! Thanks again

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Had a minor issue with my Cabalittos (MY FAULT) which Eyes on 1st was able to resolve in a timely manner. There customer service is top notch.

Thanks I's on 1ST!!!!

Re: Another happy customer
 

Thank you Billy. I sent your old pair of Permits to Costa today for repair, I will call you when they come in. So nice meeting you!

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

I Have To Thank Jamie For Going Out Of Her Way To Get The Costas I Have Been Looking For.. By Far The Nicest Pair Of Glasses I Have Had In A Long Time ..
Thank You

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Sounds like an awesome shop. Is there any specials for NJ Fishing members??

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Bring it Zagorski..... Bring it.

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Just greg,or all members?

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Wow, things appear to be getting heated between you and Chris! Since your new Costa's will be in today or tomorrow, looks like you can finally have your big modeling debut. And yes family first Gerry, but I think NJFishing members may have to make the call on who makes the better Costa model. :cool: TBD I guess!!!

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Sounds Great! See you this week!

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Checkout Gerry wearing his new Rockport Costa 580s, striking a pose like Chris G!

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

NJFishing.com and Eyes On First Ave, perfect together!!!

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Stylin ;)

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Keep in mind the camera adds 20 pounds but that's nothing photoshop won't take care of I'm gunning for you Chris :). Next shot will be a shevelt GZ to do the Costas justice.

Lenses are AMAZING..... You put the glasses on and feels like you've been transported to Oz.

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

LOL... you're really not messing around Gerry. That picture is awesome. You clearly mean business!!!

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Ordered my Costa's last night from EOF but I don't expect to look like Gerry ;)

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Glad you are liking your new Costa's Gerry! Is it the glasses transporting you to OZ or the happy hour cocktails? LOL Either way glad your getting there! Looking forward to the showdown with you and Chris.

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Hey Gerry! What did you do to my banner? LOL I must say I am not sure if I am team Gerry or team Chris G yet. You both look great in your Costa's.

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Hmmmmmm - I just noticed the new Eyes on First Banner myself Jamie. Looks like we might have a security breach on the site I'm going to have to look into :rolleyes:

I'll be getting back to you in a few weeks with my findings... I'd try and get to it sooner but I'm swamped with all the new modeling assignments :D

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Wow.... tossed to the curb.

Just like that..... :eek:

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

I would never toss you to the curb Chris. Apparently per Gerry, there has been some sort of security breach. A bit suspicious, don't you think? :confused:

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Look for Gerry to be the new spokes person for AARP

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Funny Alex :D Funnier that you will not be able to respond to this post since you have been banned :D :D

Just kidding Alex all in good fun.

PS - I've got fishing poles older then you ;)

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Jamie, Just wanted to say thanks!! I love the new Costa Bomba glasses! Going to stop by soon with my wife to get her a new pair! You have a great shop and I wish you the best!!

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Thank you so much Greg and your welcome! So happy that you are loving the new Bomba's. I look forward to meeting your wife and finding her the perfect pair as well. As promised, I will let you know when the new 2012 rimless styles are available with mirrored 580 lenses. Have a great week.

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Jamie - I've had my Costas for a few weeks now and really like them. Didn't know how much I liked them until I was out yesterday trolling for Mahi and Tuna.

It was an overcast day so not full sun but very hazy. Watching for stuff to troll by or over is very important. So is being able to see lobster pots, into and under the water around the pots or in the back of your trolling spread is key. I was amazed to see how clear and how good I was able to see into the water, that is until I took of my Costas off to clean them.

Those 580 lenses are amazing. When I took them off there was a horrible glare from the hazy sun bouncing off the windshield of the boat. The water also had a glare to it to and I really couldn't see into it. I put them back on and it was like night and day. I could clearly see the lobster pots through the windshield we were driving around but trying to avoid. I could also see down into the water around the pots and under our trolling spread. These are big pluses.

2 other pluses...
1) Usually when I come back in from being out on the water and in the sun all day, my eyes are fatigued. That did not happen with the Costas.
2) It wasn't a real great day weather wise in the AM because of haze we had, but looking at the day through those lens really made everything pop. At least for me, the weather and my perception of it has an effect on my attitude which was made more positive by the lenses.


Thanks again for hooking me up with my Costas.

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Lost my Costa's Saturday evening after coming in from a boat ride on our family boat. Fell right off my head into the lagoon. Water was too deep to locate :mad:

Luckily, Eyes on First, recently signed up to be a sponsor on the site. Normally I would have gone right to the mall, but I wanted to help out one of our sponsors.
I tried on numerous pairs, but could not get my mind off the ones I had lost, an older model of Harpoon. I loved the lens and they fit me just right. Jamie had the harpoon in stock, but these had a new updated lens. I was sold.

Jamie was also gracious enough to give me a very nice deal on the new shades. Thank you very much! I will pass the word along to anyone I know looking for great service and a good selection at great prices!

Will keep you in mind for shades for the wife when I need a gift- Might be very soon If I keep fishing as much as I am:eek:

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Hi Gerry!

So nice to hear from you. Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience fishing while wearing your 580 Costa's. Once people wear the new 580's they really will not settle for anything less. As you mentioned, the clarity on the water and in different lighting conditions is amazing. Not to mention the great variety and selection of frame styles and sizes that keep the sun and wind from bothering your eyes while out on the water.

On another note, I just wanted to say it has been a pleasure to meet so many of the NJFishing.com members this summer. Everyone is so nice and has been great. Many of them make a point to tell me that NJFishing Members are loyal to the sites sponsors. Most of them could have gotten a new pair of Costa's from a West Marine, Dick's Sporting Goods etc... but have made the trip to Eyes on First Ave. Members have made the trip from Ocean County, Staten Island, Cranford etc... That is just something you do not see anymore. I look forward to the continued partnership between NJFishing.com and Eyes on First Ave.

Hope to see you soon!

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

My wife and I need to get our eyes checked AND I want to get my first pair of Costa so I think this is going to be my one stop shop. Expect a call from another NjFishing.com member for an appointment!

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Hi Jamie, I'll be dropping by on Saturday for a new pair of Costa's. The pair of Costa's, I have are great but looking for something more comfortable.

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Hi Jay! We are open Saturday from 9AM to 4PM. I am sure we can find you a new pair that will be comfortable, looks great and has the new 580 lenses. See you Saturday. Thank you!

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Hey Jamie anyway to check on my warranty glasses? I would call but I think they went out under your store name. Let me know or PM me

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Hi Billy,
Jamie is off for the holiday weekend but give me a call at the store and I can answer any questions about your Costa glasses. I'll be here till 4PM.
Susan

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Dropped by today and picked up some nice Costa Howler's. Very happy with the service and selection of Costa's. Thanks Jamie and Susan! Highly recommend! :D

Re: Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands
 

Chris,
Hope you had a great Labor Day Weekend! Thank you for taking the time to write this post and for your kind words. I hope you are enjoying your new Costa Harpoon 580's. I also appreciate you going out your way to come to Eyes on First Ave and support a NJFishing.com sponsor. I am sure that there were many places closer to where you live that would have been easier to go to. Stop by when your ready to hook the wife up with a pair, that will certainly buy you some additional fishing time! :)
