Funny Fishing Shirts
Some anglers measure a good day in kilos. The rest of us measure it in stories, excuses and how long we managed to stay out before someone rang. These funny fishing shirts are for the second group.
Every CatchnRelease tee is a fishing slogan printed to order, so nothing sits in a warehouse waiting for you. Tees start at A$44.95, come in sizes S to 3XL, and ship at a flat rate to Australia and the US. Below are some of our favourite designs, plus a few ideas for matching them to the angler in your life.
Fishing excuses, printed on cotton
Half the fun of fishing is explaining why you went. The Can't Work Today tee does the explaining for you: "Can't work today, my arm is in a cast", over a lone angler in a tinnie at sunset. If your boss already knows where you are on a Monday, the A Bad Day Fishing tee puts it plainly: a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work. For the mate who never picks up the phone on a Saturday, the Missed Your Call tee is styled like a phone screen that says "Sorry I missed your call, I was on my other line."
Shirts for the weekend crew
Weekend anglers have their own forecast. The Weekend Forecast tee calls it "fishing, with a chance of drinking", with a bass leaping across the chest. Its natural partner is the Fishing Solves Beer tee: fishing solves most of my problems, beer solves the rest. If you'd rather keep it simple, Eat Sleep Fish Repeat sums up the whole philosophy in four words and comes in six shirt colours, from black and navy to olive and heather deep teal.
And for the angler with a cheeky streak, the I Would Rather Go Fishing tee leaves a few letters blank and lets everyone fill them in for themselves.
Funny fishing shirts for dads
Fishing dads are the toughest people to buy for and the easiest to make laugh. The Reel Cool Dad tee has a fishing rod and reel built into the lettering. It comes in seven colours, and the same design is also available as a Reel Cool Dad hoodie for cold early starts and an embroidered Reel Cool Dad trucker cap for long days in the sun. Pair any of them with a Here Fishi Fishi mug and the gift is sorted.
How to pick the right funny fishing shirt
A few quick pointers before you add to cart:
- Match the joke to the person. The excuse shirts suit anyone who's ever chucked a sickie to go fishing. The dad designs suit, well, dads. The cheekier slogans are best kept for mates with a thick skin.
- Check the colours. Most designs come in black, navy and dark grey heather. Some, like Reel Cool Dad and Eat Sleep Fish Repeat, have extra colours on their product pages.
- Size it right. Tees run from S to 3XL. Each product page lists the sizes available for that design.
- Allow time for printing. Every shirt is printed to order after you buy it, so order a little ahead for birthdays and Father's Day.
