Our take

As your nephew dives deeper into the world of fishing, ensuring his safety while he enjoys his newfound passion is paramount. With his recent acquisition of an ulua pole, your concern about potential hazards, such as being swept out to sea, is entirely valid. A GPS watch like the Garmin Instinct 3 could indeed enhance his safety by providing real-time tracking, which would be invaluable for Search and Rescue teams in an emergency. Additionally, considering other options such as personal locator devices (PLDs) could further bolster his safety measures. Your commitment to being a supportive and caring "funcle" shines through, and exploring these safety tools not only reflects your thoughtfulness but also enriches his fishing adventures with an extra layer of security.

My nephew has been into fishing for the past year+ (he's 14) and has recently gotten an ulua pole, however we are worried about him getting swept out, while we are confident in his ability to tread water, im wondering if so.ething like a Garmin instinct 3 (watch with gps) would be helpful for him to have should the worst happen and he gets swept out so Search and Rescue might have a better chance of finding him. Is this a good idea, are there other watches or better ideas for this scenario?

EDIT:

Thank you all for the great info! Im not really into fishing and the like but he is and im trying to be a great funcle, while being safe! I had no idea PLD were a thing.

Thanks again!!!
