  • Cheese and iPhone

    Loved the episode on photographing while fishing. One additional trick I use is to trigger the camera snap with a word, “cheese” is an easy one. You can setup your iPhone so that a single word will auto press a point on the screen to start a video or take a photo. I’ve added the voice control on/off to the control swipe menu so that at the start of a fish trip I just turn on “voice assist “ then with just a single screen press I can start the camera and then say ” cheese “ and it will shoot the ... more

  • Enough of the “Flybox”

    For the love of god, please put the flybox bit at THE END OF THE PODCAST. I don’t want to have to skip around for 5 minutes to find the start of the interview. 90% of the fly box questions are so basic it’s a huge waste of time IMO. I stopped listening to this pod because it’s so front loaded with irrelevant fodder. It’s like 30-40 minutes of these questions every time.
