I’ve spent years on the water rigorously testing Down Imaging transducers across various units and bodies of water, all to deliver the most effective tips for reading and using your setup.

Excellent Material

I’ve spent way too many evenings searching YouTube trying to piece together how to read and set up down imaging, but everything online is either super basic or it doesn't work on my unit. This course saved me a ton of time by having everything in one place and laid out clearly.
The on-the-water video helped the most, seeing real returns and hearing what to look for while the boat is moving made it finally click.

How to View Video Courses

Why not just learn it on Youtube?

Comprehensive and Structured Learning

Unlike YouTube, where information is scattered across various videos and channels, your course compiles everything in one place. The content is meticulously organized to provide a step-by-step learning experience, ensuring you don't miss any crucial information.

Expertise from a Professional

My livelihood depends on my expertise in fishfinders. I am on the water every day, constantly learning and refining my skills. Unlike many YouTube "experts," I have real-world experience and a proven track record in professional tournament fishing and guiding.

Reliable and Up-to-Date Information

YouTube content can quickly become outdated. Your course is regularly updated with the latest techniques and tips, ensuring that learners always have access to current information.

If You're Skeptical, Read This First

If your electronics were dialed in and you were happy with what you’re seeing, you wouldn’t still be searching for answers.

I know how this goes. You’ve already:

1) Spent serious money on your fishfinder

2) Tried tweaking settings but you’re still not confident

3) Watched YouTube after YouTube and every “expert” says something different

4) Seen perfect demo screenshots online but your screen doesn’t look like that on the water

That’s exactly why Fishfinder Coach exists.

I’m on the water every week, guiding and testing on Garmin, Lowrance, and Humminbird units in real conditions, not factory defaults.

If you're skeptical, good. You should be.
Just know this, every single review on this site came from someone who felt exactly like you do right now.

When your screen finally makes sense, that skepticism turns into confidence real quick.
