Phone Fishin' - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hunter (The 80's Man) · 07-14-2011, 06:16 PM

My beautiful wife and kids bought me a Droid X2 for Father's Day. Not being a real techy guy, I'm slowly learning how to use it.

Does anybody have recommendations on some good fishing-related apps?

Thanks,
Rob

Magicseaweed

ProKnot (through iTunes only I believe)

No seriously, Think about what info is on your phone. bank passwords / account #s, email, passwords, and most importantly, BWE password.

I have Verizon, and an antivirus would make sense.

Really good stuff here. I have a family member who is an investigator heavily involved in "tech security". He was warning me about this kind of hacking over a year ago. That article is almost spot-on to what he was telling me. Scary sheet.

Can't help I got a crappy Samsung phone.

One thing to avoid using are the public wifi points. Others can be lurking and running an app to watch/collect user ID and passwords.
