HJ -- It is a nice flotation vest; I bought it for flying, but it would do well for sport fishing. I mostly fly over-water and figured if we were ever forced into a ditch situation, a radio would be nice to have in the life-raft.

A thread here (much like this one) had a boat sink on a short timeline and handheld marine VHF radio (one of the floating models) found its way to the surface and was used to make a mayday call after the survivors were in the water. As I recall, those guys had no PFD's, but the radio got them assistance in the way of a larger commercial vessel -- Channel 16 is a great emergency communication channel.

That thread gave me the idea to put a Marine VHF radio in my aviation survival vest. It's a nice radio, but I hope there is never a need for it.
