re: Recommend me a good, comfortable life vest for fishing

The Mustang auto is dang good. I bought a couple of inflatables from West Marine that come in under the price, but, there is some jankyness involved in the way the velcro seals up around the bladder that will allow it to grab your shirt and anything else cloth wise you are around. I will look at Mustangs as replacement in the future.

The must do's with inflatables are making sure your inflation cartridges are good, and armed. And don't scrimp on the step of checking the bladder for leaks.
