Some sayings just hit home, and this one’s been floating around bait shops, piers, and back decks for years: “Old fishermen never die, they just smell that way.” It’s funny, it’s true—and now, it’s on a shirt.

This week’s new release at FishingEric.com is a nod to all the salty legends out there. Whether you’ve been fishing since cane poles were cool or just love hanging around those who have, this shirt’s for you.

Growing up on the water, I was lucky to know a few “old fishermen.” Guys who could back a trailer in blindfolded, tell the tide by the wind, and smell a school of mullet from a mile away. These men taught me more than how to tie a knot or hook a shrimp—they taught me patience, respect for the sea, and that being a good fisherman had more to do with heart than tackle.

This shirt is my tribute to them. It’s comfortable, bold, and sure to get some laughs (and maybe a few nods of respect) at the dock or bait shop. Like all my shirts, it’s printed right here in the USA after you order. That means it’s fresh off the press, not sitting on a shelf.

📦 A quick reminder:

• U.S. shipping takes just a few days.
• International orders can take up to 30 days.
• All shirts are made to order—please allow a day or two for printing.

I design every shirt myself, pulling from a lifetime of fishing stories, jokes, and memories. This one was a blast to bring to life, and I hope it brings a grin to your face too. Whether you’re wearing it out on the water or just for a beer with your buddies, you’re repping a lifestyle that never really fades—just like the smell of fish on a well-worn shirt.

Thanks again for supporting my small business. Every purchase helps keep the designs coming and the dream alive. Tight lines and big laughs!
