Sunglass lens on Vermilion

[Tripp_315]

Hello Everyone, what color sunglass lens do you recommend for the tannic color water on Vermilion?

I'll be looking in shallow water for boulders, rocks, lay-downs, sight fishing a little, etc in mid-June.

 

Thanks,

I have always used gray in my prescription glasses.

Cliff has spent countless hours on Vermilion and I'm sure he sees just fine.   

 

I prefer amber lenses though when sighting conditions are tough.  I fish similar colored water.  My prescription eye glasses transition to grey but my prescription sunglasses are amber for just the fishing reasons.  Back before I needed scripts, I always had a grey pair and amber pair in the boat.  The only time I used the grey pair was bright days on clear water.

Wanderer is probably right as far as the amber color!

I do very little sight fishing and prefer the gray for indoor and out door use.

I also use amber lenses. they work really well in calm areas on Vermillion, when you can find one LOL.

I use green mirror- costa has a lot of good info on their website when it comes to selecting a lense.

You can use mirrored lens sunglasses, as they are perfect cover for your eyes. These sunglasses also have a remarkable glare reduction capacity of 10 to 60 per cent when compared to ordinary sunglasses. You can try photo chromic lenses which change color depending on the amount of sunlight. You can check out more info and reviews online and then pick your own sunglasses.

I just picked up a pair of Costa Del Mar glasses with copper lenses for my Vermilion fishing. I read through a lot of the lens options but the opinions here and elsewhere definitely helped guide me towards my choice.

 

I can't see any better while sitting in the boat in my garage though. I'll have to wait for some warmer weather to test them out.

I ended up with a pair of S11's--> Blue Mirrors and Amber.

 

Thanks for the advise,

Hi there, Polarized sunglasses of lens color like a grey base lens with a blue mirror is the way to go or for freshwater and inshore an amber, rose or copper lens with a green mirror are lenses that can be worn. My father is also a fisherman, So, I bought wholesale sun glasses for him from some useful sites. I always prefer to buy sunglasses in bulk, as buying bulk gives a number of choices to wear and it is also affordable in cost.

I like costa's green mirror or blue mirror personally.
