Palmetto Kayak Fishing
check out this link. Not the one for a DIY camera mount, but look around there. I've seen a how to for a camera mount for his yak, you could adapt it to work on your boat for not much $$
Most of the time I photograph and release fish over 13". I usually fish alone so there's no partner to shoot the picture, and that makes for boring left-hand-holding-fish pictures. I know how to use my camera's self timer, but don't use it on the water for lack of a secure mounting point. Has anyone come up with a bracket or some other way to secure your camera while it's taking your picture?

GO BIG ORANGE !
I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
RAM makes a variety of mounts that will accept their own screw in camera adapter. I've used one for years and they work well.

One like this one could be mounted on a rod holder if you have one, or on some other type of horizontal bar. I have a folded up regular tripod I secure with velcro for my boat.
I only fish on days of the week that end with
a "Y" ...and then, only if it's raining or not.
I bought a cheap ball-head table top tripod several years back. The body was a hollow aluminum tube, so I cut it to length and put a seat post pin inside the tube and filled the space with JB Weld. I had cross-drilled the pin and put a couple small pins through to give the JB something to grab.
Drops into the rear seat post and I can adjust the angle with the ball-head. I have a remote for my camera, so I can take a shot at will.
I need to come up with something to keep it pointing where I aim it. And I need to find it. I think it slid back into the bilge from a compartment.
Corker,check local thrift stores,salvation army or goodwill type stores. Have seen tripods for little of nothing.
