Welcome Eyes On First Ave - Atlantic Highlands

[Gerry Zagorski]

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.

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

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

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!

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!

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.

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!

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

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!

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!
