Our thoughts and prayers go out to our friends at Bodyguard, which is based in Fort Myers Beach, Fl. In the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, which devastated Fort Myers Beach, they have temporarily halted production of all products. While we have some supply of Bodyguard Ultimate No-See-Um Defense, we may have to limit it to 2 bottles per order. Sorry for the inconvenience and hope for your understanding during this time.

We were in need of a graphic artist to do the poster for our first ever Chica Weekend when into the shop walked Iva Hruzikova, a dual citizen of the United States and the Czech Republic. We absolutely loved what she did for the Chicas, so we presented her with a simple request: design a turtle shirt for the shop. That’s it; no other direction at all!
Once again, we loved what she came up with, loved it so much that we have printed it on men’s and women’s T’s, kids T’s, camisoles, tank tops and even our awesome new rash guards from Wet Sox. The blanks we used for the T’s are from Next Level, with that soft comfortable feel that you’ve loved in our regular shop shirts. Enjoy!
]]>One day while fishing a WeedLine where the fish were going crazy, three hours had unknowingly past from the time the guys had promised their ladies they would be home. As luck would have it; the boat sprung a leak, and storms were beginning to form on the horizon, but they all vowed not to leave until the beer was gone, the boat sinks, or the fish stopped biting. At that point someone jokingly said, "every fisherman loves a good WeedLine". Laughing hysterically about that comment, over the next few weeks they all joked that WeedLine would be a funny name for a fishing apparel brand...
Not being one's to pass up a challenge, and realizing that they all have trouble taking things serious in life, they figured they would put punk rock values, and DIY work ethic into motion, thus "WeedLine™ Fishing Apparel" was born.

From Florida Today - A Thumb's Up!
To sharks, for biting Brevard surfers and swimmers half as often in 2013 — and extending our streak of no human fatalities to 79 years. Florida led the nation and all other countries in unprovoked shark attacks with 23, the University of Florida reports. But bites in Brevard dropped to three last year from our average of six. “Statistically, shark attacks are extremely rare, especially considering the number of humans that enter the water each year,” said George Burgess, who maintains UF’s International Shark Attack File.
