May also wanna get the watch that tells 'primetime' fishing times based on moon phases, etc. http://reviews.basspro.com/2010/51182/casio-casio-fishing-watch-for-men-reviews/reviews.htm . My guide buddy had guests up in haida gwaii who both had these/similar watches on and they would try to tell the guide when/wear to fish based on them. Was pretty ridiculous I thought.

In all seriousness I am gonna go ahead and say it's just another idea (app) that someone created hoping that enough suckers would bite... excuse the pun.

I remember my Dad buying some fish call device from the back pages of Outdoor Sportsman magazine in the 60's-the funny thing was that fish were attracted to it but not motivated to do anything but follow-this was Lake Trout & Pike fishing.

We were on a big trip to some remote lake and our relatives thought it was hilarious until they actually saw fishing following then they quieted down.

Anyway he got his money back and a story to tell on cold nights.

The fishy dance works better and is free and requires no app, just a fishing buddy who can do a silly dance without embarrassing him or herself.

Mental note.......buy two Android Phones with waterproof cases for next season......one for each cannonball!!!

I wonder if you need to be somewhere with cell service in case I need new calls?? If I AM in cell range and my GF keeps calling to tell me it's time to come home, will the ringtone disrupt the calling sequence and scare the fishies?

BGM......take note of the regs if you do go down this road in your neck of the woods.

Note, sportsmen bringing Johns Fish Calls to Lake Okanagan may require a special permit from the British Columbia Wildlife Authority because of it's potency.
