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.

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!
