I ALWAYS carry my cell when fishing.I do turn it off though.It has its own secure waterproof pouch that goes right into the waterproof inside pocket of my waterproof jacket.

To many things can go wrong when fishing.

How're you going to get help if you're by yourself and hurt badly enough not to be able get back to your car or to someplace where you can get assistance?

Fishing with a buddy?What if he gets hurt?The time saved by calling for help could mean the differance between life and death.

In this day and age when we have the technology to save more lives than ever
and yes this includes the cell phone,why would you not carry it?

Its just as an important safety tool as your korkers.
