Title: Is there an app for that?? (What's your fav fishing/boating app)
Post by: scouterjames on February 14, 2011, 06:03:38 PM: OK, for those with smartphones - what apps do you used to aid in fishing or boating (or planning the trip)?? I just got an iPhone a few weeks ago and going to start loading it up a little more soon....

What I DO use is
Tapatalk for forum reading (cept for FWR wink, nudge)
AllTrails for hiking/fishing (obviously, for trails lol)
WFNPortal for fishing network
BC Fishing for regulations
tideApp for tides and tide charts
playing with AnglerSocial

There is also a show on WildTV that has really good instructional segments on different types of casting. (and yes 2 handed casting)

Sometimes it's listed as "Breaking the Surface" (monday nights) and other times the correct name "Fly Fisherman".

Too busy working the fly on the run I am fishing to worry about looking at an app and trying to make myself look good in the eyes of others. But then again the H2O I fish has no cell coverage. Just how I like it. Thank god! What ever happened to trial and error or is there an app for that also! 8)

While I may agree with your sentiments, greyghost, I feel that as long as folks are following regulations and fishing responsibly, they should not be criticized. To each their own.
