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YouTube content can quickly become outdated.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.

Active Target video

The video was very informative. I’ve been using Active Target for approximately 2 years and was somewhat comfortable with the system. The video showed me several things I didn’t know and helped me fine tune my use of Active Target.

Good Vignettes and Practical Application

I think I may have found the issue I have been having with my settings. This will be invaluable for me in using this technology more to my advantage. I liked that the first few lessons talked about "how" it works and the last one actually showed the concepts in action. Much of what I thought to be complicated has been "demystified." Well done.
