Want to learn how to use your sounder properly?

Welcome to our Fishing Sounder Course! I've created this series to help clear up the confusion around using your sounder. I know... the manual shows you none of the important stuff. 

If you've been confused by all the settings like frequency and contrast, unsure how to read a fish arch, not sure what your looking at with sidescan - well, you've come to the right place. 

You'll get answers to all your questions, plus a clear understanding of what to change on your sounder, and how to use it to help you find more fish. Once you're shown the few tricks, it's really simple to use every time you head out for a session. 

And you'll save heaps of time - because you'll get everything you need in this step by step course from a team of anglers with decades of experience. No more scrolling through YouTube and Facebook for hours to find the answers.

ANGLERs who've taken the course

See what they have to say about The sounder series...

so... why a course to learn how to use my sounder?

That's a great question... Why is a course the best way to learn? Here's why.

You could go out with a guide for the day (which will probably cost you over $700), but you'll only learn about the one scenario from that day, and within a week you'll likely forget the key details about the best settings. 

You could go into a shop for info (but 99% of people who sell the gear don't know how to use the gear, and they aren't likely to give you that much time). 

What's the better option?

A course! It covers everything you need to know, in every scenario, step by step, including mounting, electronics, setups, settings and how to use each mode. 

AND best of all you get to keep it forever and watch it back whenever you need to.

Sounder Series course module outline

what's included in the Sounder Series Course?

THERE ARE 6 MODULES THAT ARE DESIGNED STEP BY STEP, RUNNING THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF using your sounder. Simple videos and graphics, with step by step explanations and examples. 

You'll learn to interpret exactly what your sounder is showing you. No more guessing if what you are seeing are actually fish underneath your boat!


With over two decades of freshwater fishing experience, Rhys knows how critical it is to know and trust your sounder and guides you through the entire process.


Why buy such an expensive piece of equipment, if all you know how to do is to read the depth? It's time to change that inside the Sounder Series Course.

See what they say...

"Helped Me Heaps "

Kyle Termorshuizen

Benella, VIC

“I really enjoyed the sounder course as it helped me heaps with setting up my tinny and purchasing a sounder and electric for it.  


Although I don’t have a flash sounder, it’s helped me learn a lot about the electrical aspects in the tinny and how to set it up, as well as knowledge for the future if I get a larger boat. 


I would definitely recommend for anyone looking to setup their boat or just want more knowledge about their sounders."


"This Is A Must Watch "

Ross Daley

Queanbeyan, NSW

“The Sounder Series Course 

comprehensively 

explains sounders from installation to operation. It moves further past that with explanations of the beam frequencies and the shapes of the cones for sonar, downscan and sidescan; if you already use a sounder, this section will help you to use your sounder more effectively.


Sounders are a powerful tool on your boat to find bait and fish activity when used properly and I would recommend if you are thinking of buying a sounder or already use one, this is a must watch."

"Accelerates Your Learning"

Terry Ryan

Wagga Wagga, NSW

"We can all read our user manuals on how to set up our sounders, but they don't go much further than the setup.


It’s a long learning curve to be able to identify what is on your screens and to be confident in knowing what it is that's you are looking at.  


This Sounder Series Course accelerates your learning, helping you to confidently interpret what you see on the screen and ultimately improve your catch rate."
