Written About In

Excellent Material

I’ve bought several programs from Hugh, and he always does an amazing job showing how to use electronics in a way that’s easy to understand. He’s quick to respond to any questions on his website and truly cares about helping people. Hugh is one of the kindest and most honest people I’ve ever met—always patient and hands-on. I highly recommend anything Hugh offers. So much money gets spent on equipment that’s hard to figure out, but Hugh explains everything clearly and makes learning enjoyable. You can tell he really loves what he does and wants others to feel confident using their devices.

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YouTube content can quickly become outdated.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.

Why spend thousands on equipment and not have it performing its best? Our Settings Guide will maximize your MEGA Live 2's capabilities.

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.

You’ll get it in three ways:

On the Course Home page after checkout
In a follow-up email
From your Orders page when you log in

If you download it to your iPhone, it will show up in the "Files" app.

They are downloadable PDFs that show you exactly how to set up your fishfinder for the clearest, most effective sonar image possible, tailored for your specific brand and model.

Yes, as long as you use the same email you checked out with, your files will always be available in your account.

Absolutely. You can print the PDF at home for quick reference on the boat.

No, if you purchase the manual, you’ll already get the settings guide as part of it.
If you just want the settings section and not all the extra content, you can purchase the settings guide by itself.

When you download a file on an iPhone, it usually saves to your Files app, not your Photos or Safari.

Here’s how to find it:

Open the Files app
Tap “Browse” at the bottom
Go to “Downloads” or tap “Recents”
Your PDF should be there and can be opened, saved, or shared from that location

Tip: You can also use the search bar in the Files app to look for the name of the file (e.g., “Humminbird Settings Guide”).

Video courses are universal—not tied to a fishfinder brand, model, or transducer. They teach how to read and use each sonar type, and the same interpretation principles apply across brands. The courses cover general settings and what those settings change, but they do not provide exact transducer-specific settings.

PDF Settings Guides are matched to the transducer installed on your boat. They provide the exact settings or recommended ranges for that specific transducer.

We recommend the relevant bundle because it gives you both: the universal video course for reading and using sonar, and the transducer-specific PDF Settings Guide for exact settings.

Check out our bundles here for total mastery at a reduced price.

Only Apex and Xplore units are compatible with MEGA Live 2.
