Mutton Snapper II Men's Ultimate Performance Long Sleeve Fishing Shirt

Fishing Shirts Made by Fishermen

We know those days spent catching bait and setting long line leaders in search of elusive Mutton.  Fish the surrounding edges of deep reefs and wrecks in 80-200 feet of water and use live pilchards or goggle-eyes on a knocker rig with 15'-20' flouro carbon leaders. Keep the bait close to the bottom where muttons feed. Muttons cruise these structure edges looking for easy meals.

Our vision is simple – we've held these magnificent fish in our hands, awestruck by their beauty, we had to share them with you. Salt Skins gear isn't just apparel – it's wearable ocean art that's going to turn heads whether you're reeling in the big one or living the coastal life. We know from our customers that when you wear our clothing, you can't help but talk about it. Plus, your purchase fuels our mission of giving back to marine conservation. Wear your new Salt Skins with pride and stay connected with us on your next ocean adventure. 

Part of our Washout Series - featuring white front shirts designed to wash stains out during those long, rugged days on the water.

The Reef King Legend

Meet the Mutton Snapper Fishing Shirt – the crimson warrior of the deep that's captured more respect than any fish in the Atlantic. These ruby-scaled powerhouses can live over 30 years and grow to 30+ pounds, with that signature black spot behind their gill cover acting like a badge of honor for every serious angler. What makes the Muttons legendary? They're the perfect gamefish cocktail: bulldozing power, stunning crimson brilliance, and the cunning intelligence that'll outsmart your best tactics.

The Mutton Snapper's vibrant coloration shifts from deep rose-red to brilliant silver-pink, depending on depth and mood, creating a mesmerizing flash that signals premium eating and trophy potential. Their distinctive black spot behind the gill cover and bold yellow fins create an unmistakable profile that deep-water veterans recognize instantly – a natural signature that has marked these reef kings for generations.

Native to the warm waters of the Atlantic and Gulf, mutton snappers are notorious for their wariness and fighting ability. They inhabit depths from 30 to 300 feet, cruising reef structures and wrecks with the confidence of actual apex predators. Their powerful jaws can crush crabs and small fish with ease, while their keen eyesight makes them one of the most challenging targets in saltwater fishing.

Authentic Marine Artistry

Our Mutton Snapper Master design captures the explosive crimson flash and rose-gold beauty that makes these reef legends unforgettable. The pattern flows like liquid fire across the fabric, shifting from deep crimson tones to brilliant pink highlights that mirror a mutton's flash as it crushes your bait over structure.

Built for the angler who demands performance without compromise. This long-sleeve performance shirt delivers cutting-edge technology wrapped in authentic aquatic artistry. The 100% moisture-wicking polyester construction moves with you like water itself, actively managing perspiration during those marathon battles. UPF 50+ protection is woven into every thread, providing comprehensive defense against punishing sun rays, whether you're working the reefs or battling the deep blue at dawn.
