Handheld waterproof VHF radio
This post is toned down, it's not accurately reflecting my state of mind.... postal is more like it.
I need to invest in a VHF radio to use while fishing from my yak. This weekend I had the upleasant experience of "Gun and Run" (Or flip the yak) from a boat registered in CT. (I did not get the # except for the CT part, I would call the coast guard and police if I did).
I had a fish on after following birds and bait for a couple of hrs. Reeling in the fish the boat is comming up on me from behind at full speed, passing less than 10' from me, or throwing distance of an empty bottle of BUD Lite. The bottle bounced of the front of the yak scaring the sh*t out of me then cut in front of me close enough to cut the line. I lost fish and a nice lure.... grrrrrrr. The wake from the boat were close to upend me and I had a hard time not rolling the yak.
Sooooo, since I can't get torpedo lauchers for the yak, a radio would be the next best. I could call other people fishing to see if they got his lic# (there where 25 -30 boats fishing for fluke less than 1/2 mile away.)
Back to the original question, any suggestion on what VHF radio to get would be appreciated (handheld).
