Podcast Title: Technology and the Modern Fisherman: Use Your Phone, Its Already in Your Hands

 

Description: There is a distinct yet versatile space created for fisherman in nature. However, how often do you wish technology welcomed this environmentally driven culture? (Possibly, all the time.) The “Modern Fisherman” will have his phone, I-pad or laptop in close proximity at all times. Now, contemplate on how ideal it would be to merge your two favorite things: your choice of technology and your favorite past time—fishing. We want to inform you of the best fishing apps that will not only sharpen your awareness of your environment but also heighten your entire fishing experience.

Episode Topics: Fishing has been a part of countless families for so many years. But although the tradition stays the same, the world continues to evolve and the culture in which it happens is constantly changing. Technology has become an awesome mirror for all industries. Now, the modern day fisherman can join the conversation by way of three useful mobile apps for fisherman: 1. “Go Free Hooked App” 2. “Fishidy” 3. “Deeper”.

 

Podcast Type:Expert Interview 

 

Guest: Dave Holden

 

Intro Monologue: Henry David Thoreau once said: “Many men go fishing all of their lives, without knowing it is not the fish that they are after.” Fishing is far more than a hobby to the “modern-day” fisherman. It is all about the journey—the unforgettable moments with unforgettable people. In today’s society, technology plays an intricate role in the functionality of someone’s day. Our phones, I-pads or laptops are always within arms reach—even on a fishing trip. Dave, I am so excited that you are here today to answer questions that our viewer’s and listeners would love to know the answers to. I know you are a content editor on ProPaddling, and you spend much of your time in nature, so I am very excited about having you here! So let’s dig in on the details of some relevant fishing related applications for mobile devices.

Topic 1: “Go Free Hooked App” 

Who doesn’t love a free app? Think about it, everything we need, can be found on our mobile devices. This is interesting because why wouldn’t we think the same thing about our fishing outings? One of the first things our listeners might think about is: “How can I keep a record of my success while fishing?” especially, for our “fishing dads” who usually multi-task on these trips; So, Dave, talk to us about the “Go Free Hooked App”. (Question 1)Tell us, how can this app assist in efficiently and realistically keeping track of fish data? 

 

(Dave Holden will answer Question 1) 

 

Topic 2: “Fishidy App” 

So Dave, let’s talk to our “pro” fishermen well, our guys who would like to think they are pros. You know what it’s like, to have a million questions running through your mind: “what are the local angling reports?” “How many catches will I have today?” “Where can I share my bragging rights online with my friends and other competitive fisherman?” Talk to the listeners about the “Fishidy App”. (Question 2)How can the features of this app help fisherman show off their success while continuing to keep their fishing experience fun and engaging? 

 

(Dave Holden will Answer Question 2) 

 

Topic 3: “The Deeper App” 

Now, we’re shifting our conversation a little “deeper”. Let’s talk to our “planners”—the guys who are looking at the weather a week in advance to prepare for their fishing trip. Yes, we know weather will always be unpredictable but it does help to have some foresight of the weather forecast. (Question 3)Dave, Can you give our viewers/listeners the details about Solunar Forecast Calendar? Also, can you tell them how they can connect to the “Deeper Smart Fishfinder” feature? 

 

(Dave Holden will Answer Question 3)
