What Capesam said, bag it. I had given that some thought myself, but I usually leave the phone in the bag behind me on the beach if I carry it at all. I like bigfishes idea. Leave it in the jeep, but Eben got a little one so contact at home is important. By the way bigfish, no signal most of the time huh, your giving up clues to where you fish. Burning your own spots a little.

Paid less than 3 bucks for it.I need to have my phone and this solves the problem.

Had the same type thing happen last year. Just arrived in Joisey for family vacation. Had cell and pager attached to belt and was tying my uncles boat to the bulkhead from inside the boat. Leaned over a little too far and over I went. It was a Nextel. The phone was shot but the sim card was fine.

Toasted Phone - $100
Toasted Pager - $50
Not having a video camera capture the evidence - PRICELESS
