Selfiefish buzzbar with phone holder one side and LED light the other. Just screw onto a bank stick and away you go. Use the proper rear facing camera and just set it up beforehand with a test shot, then when you have a fish just put the phone in the holder and turn the light on.

What phone do you have? Never iPhones have voice control that works a lot better than whistle app, which doesn't work when it's windy. Say ‘hey Siri, turn on voice control' and you'll know if you have it. If not, ‘Hey Camera' is a better app than whistle app and is voice controlled.

One off the Trent at the weekend. It's not perfect and if I was critical I'd have the light higher up to avoid shadows, but it's more than good enough for me.

If you are using an iPhone look at the photo timer + app it's a free app works great you set it up like a camera intervalometer set the countdown timer ,set a delay inbetween shots and will just keep taking shots shoots just hit the shot button on the phone and away you go

I always used to use a knock off gorilla pod for self takes with my phone. The flexible legs meant you can wrap it round a bankstick with little effort.
