As if I needed to get any more excited for our upcoming return to Sport Fish Panama Island Lodge, every time I turn on the Google machine it seems to taunt me with another reminder about how excited I am. While I’ve already acquired four new items that will accompany me, I keep discovering new clothing that brings to mind both the epic offshore and inshore fisheries that await me.

We’ve already told you how to spruce up your look with billfish-themed shirts, shorts and neckties. Now we’ll help you complete the look with matching socks.

I’ve worn a tie for more hours than many of you have been alive. I’m neither proud nor ashamed of that fact – it’s the price I’ve paid to earn certain things I want, like Japanese crankbaits and trips to the Amazon.

While they’re not necessarily big in our home waters of the bass fishing world, as we’ve delved more and more into saltwater fishing we’ve seen an increasing number of anglers on the boat in boardshorts. The billfish “critter shorts” that you wear to dinner may be stylish, but you don’t want to get them covered in the blood of a gaffed yellowfin.

I’m a big fan of fishing t-shirts – I have over 50 of them – particularly if they somehow incorporate a pop culture reference. I’m also a big fan of food, so any time I can combine all of those interests into one comprehensive package it makes me pretty happy. Here are a few of the best ones I’ve seen.
