trout or phone
i caught a fat brown trout one day...and reeled him in to the shore...where he instantly came off the hook but stayed there easy to grab....at the very same moment my cell phone not in its leather case and being slippery fell out of my shirt pocket into the water "ploop" ...so there i was....contemplating rather quickly...which should i grab FIRST? the trout....or the damn phone now underwater....so i grabbed the trout of course...first....and dropped him in a bucket...then i grabbed the phone and tied a knot in a sweatshirt cuff
dropped it in there and swung it round and round as hard as i could to utilize centrifical force....afterwards i placed it on my dashboard in the sun...and next to the heater when i got home....next day it worked fine.

wet phone
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.  |

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  |
