Fathers Day is just around the corner June 21. One of the most commons emails I get is what is a good gift as Dad is a fisherman. My response is simple, where does you angler fish, fresh or saltwater, what does he target (species) and does he fish from a boat or shore. When in doubt gift certificates are great!
• Anglers love fishing T shirts and nobody does it better than Joe and Jeremy at www.naclh20sports.com. They have a unique brand of T shirts and hat for guys and gals. Short or long sleeve they have a shirt for your angler.
• Eye protection is critical from the suns harmful rays and if your angler is a sight fisherman it's even more important. Polarized glasses are essential tools for both the professional Captain and angler. Last year the Admiral aka Capt. Steven's wife began wearing Kaenon sunglasses and was instantly sold. The clarity of the lens are unsurpassed everything comes to life. The Admiral has another pair on order as do I. Inshore offshore they have a lens just right for all conditions and the frames are very stylish. Who says you can't have function and style. Check them out at www.kaenon.com.
• Rods, reels, pliers, terminal tackle make great gifts. Be sure to check with your local tackle dealer, they are in the know and will get you hooked up with what works in your area. The staffs that run these great local stores are fisherman. I trade locally with Betts Fishing Center in Largo, Fl. Great group of people with excellent customer service.
• Fishing charters make for an outstanding gift for Dad. Captain Steven and On The Mark Charters has access to some top guides. Tarpon and permit fishing in Boca Grande, Offshore grouper and bottom fishing locally, Blue Marlin fishing in Hawaii and my favorite inshore fishing with Captain Steven. I personally has fished with these guides and can attest they are quality Captains. Day or night trips 4-8 hours or longer we can build a trip for your angler.
• Boat owners need I say for then Woody Wax, a clean boat improves resale value and Woody Wax products will also protect your investment from harsch water and the suns UV rays. Go to www.woody-wax.com and email them for free sample simply say Captain Steven sent you, include your name and address and sit back fro your samples. Woody Wax non skid deck wax is amazing.
Hopefully these few tips are helpful. Please feel free to email or call with any questions you may have. And to all the Dad's out there Happy Fathers Day!
