well im indestructible, invincible, immortal, however you look at it and i carry one. its a cobra, water proof, floats and bright orange. I even remember to charge it sometimes. it's tons of fun to sit in the kayak at around 8am and listen to all the chatter on 72 about the "bite yesterday" then get on and say something like " you should have been here at 3am, wide open seabass and got a yellow over 40 at first light..." then listen to all hell break loose.

i actually seen a guy do that. he was in a center console and i was about 20 yards away fishing the kelp and we were talking and he says, "watch this".. gets on there, gives them some numbers of some "fish he caught about 15 mins ago" and 4 or 5 boats went over. we started laughing and they came on the radio about 30 minutes later and were hooking up on yellows in the 20-30lb range. we could see the birds diving and fish busting and the entire fleet pulling anchore. i laughed but he was pissed.

Ex-Aliso Village resident, I also carry one all the time

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliso_Village

Aliso Village was one of the most impoverished areas of the city, and by the 1930s was considered one of the last remaining slums in the United States. Reformer Jacob Riis had visited The Flats in the early 1910s and declared them worse than anything in New York; a survey conducted by the city in the 1937 deemed 20% of the city's dwellings "unfit for human habitation," including most of The Flats. During World War II, the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) razed The Flats and built Aliso Village projects in their place. Like most of HACLA's 1940s projects, the Aliso Village projects were hailed at the time of their construction as some of the finest examples of the principles espoused by the garden city movement, and were racially integrated to boot.
Soon after the end the war, Aliso Village lost most of their non-Latino populations, and were increasingly populated by Mexican immigrants. With the river on one side and a massive rail yard on another, the construction of the East Los Angeles Interchange further isolated them from the rest of the city, and the closure of the Pacific Electric Railway dramatically reduced the mobility of many of the projects' residents. By the 1970s, overcrowding had eliminated much of Aliso Village's once-vaunted green spaces, physical deterioration had become rampant, and gangs were an increasing problem. In the 1980s the residents of Aliso Village began to organize with the support of Dolores Mission Church and its community organization, UNO, and began to address these problems. By the late eighties the residents of the two housing projects had developed a network of community groups that pushed for better services and began negotiating truces between the different gangs, thus reducing the level of violence. In 1996, HACLA wrote off the projects, against the residents desires'. In 2000 Aliso Village was demolished and replaced with the New Urbanist, Pueblo del Sol "workforce housing" project. In the process two thirds of the residents of the housing projects were displaced in a situation reminiscent of the Chavez Ravine incident
