Fishing Into Fall: 3 Essentials for Staying Comfortable on the Water
Most experienced anglers know that temperature transitions make for great fishing. As temperatures cool heading into fall, fish activity begins to ramp up—from pre-winter bass feeding to the redfish spawning season and so much more. That’s the good news.
The bad news? Temperature transitions can be tough on anglers. Particularly in our neck of the woods, a fall day may start in the 50s and quickly soar to the 80s or even 90s, not to mention the occasional storms and strong wind. Luckily, we’ve designed plenty of great apparel options for the unexpected, and that’s what we’re highlighting today. You’ve made it through the worst of summer heat, and now it’s time to prepare for the finicky weather of fall.
TekCheck
Our long-sleeve TekCheck Shirt is the ultimate foundation for fall fishing. It has the everyday comfort features you’ve come to expect—wrinkle-resistant, stain-resistant, mechanical stretch, etc.—as well as some premium features designed to keep you comfortable on the water.
First, the shirt is quick-drying and moisture-winking. This is especially important in fall because it’s warm enough for you to break a sweat, but cool enough to freeze you to the bone when you soak your clothing. Also, the sun doesn’t disappear after summer and with 50+ UPF protection, the TekCheck will protect your skin for an all-day excursion. Overall, the TekCheck is a great start to your fall fishing apparel, and can easily be layered with thicker pieces for added warmth on those cool mornings.
Defender Hoody
If you’re looking for versatility, the Defender Hoody is your best bet. This technical fishing shirt was designed with every detail in mind to keep you comfortable and mobile no matter where your next fishing trip takes you.
With a full-length snap front, you can use the Defender as a light jacket over a T-shirt on variable days, or use it as your baselayer with a jacket over for cooler days. The shirt also features technical stretch so you have plenty of range of motion on the water, along with thumb holes in the sleeves for a great fit under a jacket. Paired with our signature tagless design, UPF 30+ sun protection, and quick-drying fabric, you’ll be ready for anything.
SeaDrift Pants
While it may pain some to hear that shorts season is about over, we have some good news—our SeaDrift Pants are just as comfortable, lightweight, and versatile as your favorite pair of shorts. They’re designed with comfort in mind, featuring mechanical stretch and an elastic waistband for a snug fit.
On top of comfort, these pants are ready for even the most rugged angling pursuit. They have UPF 50+ sun protection, along with moisture-wicking and fast-drying fabric to keep you dry when the waves start sneaking over the side of the boat. These fishing essentials are made to work day-in and day-out—and be comfortable enough that you don’t have to think about them at all.
There are plenty of ways to prepare for your next fishing trip, so be sure to browse our full fishing lineup. Just like finicky fall weather, it can happen at any moment, and we’re here to make sure you’re ready.
