Look on eBay plenty of camera tripod and phone mounts on their I use a Hama 75 star tripod compact comes it its own storage zip bag under £15 fully telescopic use it for both my camera and mobile phone and I use ulanzi phone mounts which also has a slot on the top so it allows you to slot a camera light on the top to give you extra lighting for the night time shots help the camera refocus the ulanzi phone mounts screw onto the tripod fine

Selfie fish on eBay. perfect for the job.
Only problem I have is the front facing camera flash on my iPhone 7 isn't good enough for night shots. Either get an external light or use the rear facing camera. Trouble then is you can't see yourself on the screen. Whistle app for the camera.

I saw some night shots taken with an iphone and they were really good.
What version of iphone did they start incorporating that feature.
As for a tripod I have a Yunteng VCT-1688 after an Old Geezer recommendation, I don't think they make them anymore, but something like that should do the job.

Get a bank stick, bank stick adapter and a rhino selfie adapter does a great job mate I even add a rhino light on top of it, takes brilliant pictures with it

The front camera on my 7 doesn't have a dedicated flash, it uses the screen to flash with. So when taking a picture of you and your fish, the light isn't bright enough, but you can see yourself in the screen. Turn the phone over and use the rear camera and it's dedicated flash, you get a better picture, but then you can't then see if you've framed yourself correctly. Might be different on newer phones.

A mate of mine uses a bankstick and small buzzer bar with 2 little butt grips at right angles to the bar, works perfectly with his whistle app

I use a bank stick adapter from Gardner and a phone clamp either using voice command or a wireless shutter.

Not really a sensible price though

Use a saber phone tripod myself. Find it really good and stable to use. 
I have a camera adaptor glued into the end of the seat frame on my day chair.
Just screw on phone holder ( eBay 2 quid) and put phone in holder and use whistle cam app.
Very easy, stable and no need for a tripod.

You sit behind expensive rods reels alarms waiting for days sometimes so a jag self stick is pennies really for a good picture. 👍🏾
