I Only Surface When I’m About to Go Deeper
A Shirt That Knows Exactly What It’s Saying
There’s nothing subtle about this one — and that’s exactly the point.
This week’s design, “I Only Surface When I’m About to Go Deeper,” walks the line between fishing truth and unapologetic sexual innuendo. If you get it, you get it. If you’re uncomfortable? Good. You’re not the target.
Let’s start with the basics. Yeah, this is technically a fishing shirt. The kind of thing you wear when you’re chasing tarpon, when the sweat’s real, the tide’s moving, and your drag’s about to scream. But this isn’t some family-friendly cartoon tee. This is a grown man’s shirt — and everyone who sees it will know exactly what you mean.
Because if you’re like me, you don’t surface just to flap around. You surface with purpose. You’re coming up for one reason: you’re about to go deeper — in the water, in life, or in her.
Let’s Not Dance Around It
You want a shirt that talks like you do after two drinks? Here it is.
“I Only Surface When I’m About to Go Deeper” says it all. No emojis. No fake PG rating. This shirt leans all the way into the double meaning — and doesn’t flinch.
Whether you’re talking about a tarpon gulping air before it dumps 100 yards of line…
Or you’re talking about that look across the room when you know it’s about to get real…
The message is the same.
Surface. Breathe. Go deeper.
That’s how we do it in the water, and that’s how we do it behind closed doors. The best ones don’t make a lot of noise — they build pressure, wait for the right moment, then show up with everything they’ve got.
This design is for the ones who take their time, and then leave no doubt.
Real Fishing Vibes, Real Grown Energy
Look — tarpon do roll on the surface, sure. But they don’t hang around long. They come up, take a breath, and then disappear into the dark, usually about to rip you into a 40-minute fight.
That’s what inspired this line.
Tarpon are aggressive, but they’re calculated. It’s not about flash. It’s about function. When they roll, something’s about to go down — literally.
And that’s the hook of this design. It’s not just about what happens on the surface. It’s about what happens after. It’s for the ones who save their energy, play the long game, and go deep enough to be remembered.
And if you’ve ever been with someone who couldn’t stop talking about how good they are, only to fumble the play when it matters… this shirt isn’t for them.
This one’s for the closers.
No Gimmicks. Just Real Gear.
I release a new design every week. This isn’t some fake “limited edition” marketing gimmick. Every design I drop is available at FishingEric.com, all day, every day.
But this week? This one is special.
It’s got bite. It’s got swagger. It’s got that perfect blend of fishing realism and adult humor that makes people stop, stare, and either smirk… or blush.

Who Should Rock This Shirt?
This shirt is for the ones who don’t pretend.
If you’re someone who rises slow, breathes deep, and doesn’t make a move until you’re ready to make it count — this is for you.
If you know that depth — whether it’s in the water or in a partner — is where the real experience is, this shirt speaks your language.
If you’ve ever whispered something filthy while baiting a hook…
If you’ve ever looked someone dead in the eye and said, “You’re not ready for how deep this is gonna go…”
Then yeah — you’ve already earned this shirt.
It’s not for the timid. It’s not for the loudmouths. It’s for the ones who show up when it counts and go all the way in.
Why It Works
A good shirt doesn’t just look cool. It says something. It starts conversations. It shuts people up. It makes your buddy do a double take, and it makes her smile even though she won’t admit it.
“I Only Surface When I’m About to Go Deeper” is bold, clear, and clever as hell.
It works on the boat. It works in the bar. Hell, it works in the bedroom — depending on who you’re dealing with.
It’s the kind of shirt that gives off that “I’m not here to play” energy… because let’s face it, neither are you.
Final Thoughts
This design didn’t come out of a corporate boardroom. It came from the same place as all my best fishing stories: a mix of sweat, saltwater, and just the right amount of filthy honesty.
Tarpon are beasts. They don’t surface for fun. Neither should you.
So when you wear this shirt, wear it like you mean it. Whether you’re making waves offshore or laying down that deep-game energy onshore, make it known: you only come up when you’re ready to go all the way in.
Order now at FishingEric.com, and don’t worry — it’ll still be there next week. But don’t be surprised when people start asking questions the second you walk in wearing it.
Because they’ll know exactly what you mean.
