This topic might state the obvious but sometimes it is best to put you view across.

When we go fishing some go via boat and some fish off the land.

The most common thing that we have when fishing is water.

Water can some times be very unforgiving to our personal items, such as car alarm, mobile phones and even paper in ours wallets.

There are water proof containers and cylinders that you are able to place these items in. Then these strap to your person when you go on fishing. So often is the case that you are in a hurry and forget to bring this along. I found that placing a wallet in a zip lock plastic bag and doing the same for the mobile works just as well. This can be done just before leaving the house and for the odd time that someone calls you on your mobile you are still able to talk on the mobile. Also prevents from transferring bait to your mobile.

The stories that can be told of people having the replace things after they had gotten wet. :o

Bloody Mobile phones Christos !

I reckon everybody would be better off if they all got drowned & didn't work hate the bloody things.

Good idea mate.


I once had my little boat swamped by a wave,mate we had prawns floating around at waist height,let me just say yeah the water got into everything almost,still had a few dry smokes,the missus's radio and my mobile copped it but.



Geez that was an experiance!!!

Too late now Christos...he is probably referring to me in this subject as my $579 mobile was soaked and no longer works......oh damn....

I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone
Majed by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you
It's a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing's going right
Won't you tell me Majed how can I go on here without you?

Yes I'm down and feeling blue
And I don't know what to do, oh-oh

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

No Majed you knuckle head I was not referring to you. I did not mention names in the report and you go and tell the www.

And what could be worst then a limerick from Jumpy.

That wasn't a limerick !

That was ABBA singing to Majed

Oh that is way too deep.

fair dinkum.....i love ABBA....

oh you poor sick bas#ards

They are a great idea you can also get the plastic bag versions for around $4.00 the are totally watertight and can hold phones,wallets whatever without hassle ..I always put my keys phone and wallet into one before i step into the boat as usually a slip on the ramp is where i get wet...or if it is hissing down with precipitation

they are available from big w yellow tops with clear plastic cheap and good insurance wet remote keys are expensive also...

Too late now...already lost a very wet expensive phone....

dont drop it overboard sounds like a good idea, I have a oeice of pvc pipe with watertight ends i put all mys tuff in when i go out. sure cant hear the phone but when your out fishing who wants to!

there is no way a dam phone is going on my boat i hate the dam things, u can bet the minute u hock a decent fish it will ring most likely be J.G. playing silly buggers at that.

I don't like them either but with 3 young boys have to be close if something bad happens at home...Id never forgive myself

besides we have a code if it rings hangs up then rings a few seconds later I know its the missus ,,,any one else can bugga off

Ewe Yotta be Yoking

I never answer mine nor do I ring from the silly thing well sometimes but very rarely & I only ring when I do which is not that often because I rarely ever ring

Did eye confucious ewe ???

In other words I cant stand the bloody things esp when idiots bring them on the golf courses

that's were they are meant to be, on the dam golf course and as far away from boats and fisherman as possible
