This, and a waterproof Galaxy.
2 phones later

James get yourself one of these, we got them for the kayaks and ours let you take calls text with out opening it. Taking photos you need to open it up.

He is Asian.... we all stocked minimum 200 lbs of rice.
Edit: oops... misread. Yeah we don’t have enough rice to dry up Simcoe.


I must give you credit for fishing out the phone. That is not easy. At least it was the company work phone. Hopefully everything is backed up in the clouds. And yes you do keep the same number with any replacement.

Just reminded me to back up my phone.

There is only a hard plastic protective back cover with the phone. There is no lanyard. etc. There is literally nothing to get to hook to.

However, there is a small square hole on the cover on the left side of the phone (so as to push a button up/down to mute or un-mute the phone), and I finally managed to hook into the edge of this hole!!!:-)

I lost mine last spring in 38 degree water 10 feet deep when I flipped my kayak. Was some current and I was to cold to retrieve it, RIP little phone. Be happy you didn't go down the hole with your phone like I essentially did

I was able to turn on mine after intensive washing in a ziplock but with 99% isopropyl.

Sorry to hear that. I know you can keep the same number I usually have mine in a plastic bag. Hope you retrieve what you lost good luck.

Oh wow, is that why you hung up on me

glad you got it back

After a similar hut experience years ago, my phone stays in my bag, on my left on the bench!

I also have a case like Fisherman posted for insurance, but my main message is that I don't want to have my phone on when I go fishing if possible, except maybe for some pics later


Idea is to get away from all that stuff

Be careful with the moko bags. They work well but if you have any kind of heavier case the phone will not float (any of the larger phones that is, Iphone 8,10,11,12 in the larger size). We use the Moko cases but pull our normal case off before we use them. You won't need your normal protective case with the moko on.

Phone, sun glasses, pliers and loose tackle are always at the back of the bench.When using phone and pliers I always lean back as far away from the holes to prevent the big kerplup...
Sucks but you will be more careful next time..
Or maybe the wife was going to call you and say time's up and you should come home lol and you did it on purpose..Lol..

That sucks takk soon

Thats why the fishing was slow! Lol... i too was fishing with Taj yesterday... i may have been the hut to the left of you... glad you got your phone back

Wow, you did very well. Well done.
