I have purchased 3 separate courses

I have purchased 3 separate courses, I have a number of tertiary qualifications and attended many lectures over the years Ryan explains in simple terms how to use the very expensive sounder that was for the depth only. I now know so much more it has improved our catch.

Thanks Mark! Making complex technology simple and useful is exactly what Ryan aims to do. Glad it's helping put more fish in the boat!

Great Info

Fishing is an addiction & so are the RMF Courses. Purchased the 1st of many around 10 years ago, realising then how much time & money I'd wasted cruising around looking for fish with a sounder I thought I could read. Wing & a Prayer stuff.
Ryan's knowledge of your target species & everything associated with its capture is yours for life. You'll dispell manufacturers myths & U-Tube experts.
I hesitated at first....... Don't!

Highly recommend

Highly recommend, as a student of multiple courses, Ryan's courses have changed the way I not only fish the reef but how I plan and execute my trips. I used to go out each time and essentially fish the same way on the same environments. I now go out with a plan and with Ryan's courses also assisting in where to search, I can fish less spots and get better catches

Love the RMF courses ive done so far

Love the RMF courses ive done so far, all up ive done 4 courses now and often find myself going back over the courses to pick up something new I missed. Great value for money and every bit of knowledge helps with the price of life at the moment. The Facebook groups are an absolutely awesome idea with an absolute wealth of knowledge.

I have been using Ryan's Fishing…

I have been using Ryan's Fishing Information & Framework for a few years now. It just made sense to me to Invest in some Accurate Knowledge, having already spent so much money prior on buying my boat, fishing gear, upkeep, fuel, fishing tackle etc etc, the list goes on. Spending some money on Know How was a No-Brainer.
The Information in these courses is very helpful and structured in an easy to understand manner. These courses work very well if you put the time into them, combined with time on the water.
Do yourself a favour, Purchase just one course, give it the time it deserves, and I reckon you will be back to buy another of Ryan's courses before too long after that.
Cheers

RMF is the best all around program I have been a pleasure to be a member of. After returning to fishing after a decade it helped me remember alot of things I had forgotten, but more important it helped me catch up on new innovations and technology. Sounder Skills is the best program I have ever seen. Anyone from novice to professional can learn vital information to help increase their fish catch.

You never know it all! Making fishing even more rewarding.

I have completed three of Ryan's courses - Sounder Skills 1 and 2, and Finding Fingermark. The Sounder Skills were very instructive, allowing me to make much more effective use of my sounder, instead of just looking for structure. While much of my fishing is more suited to traditional sonar, I do now use side scanning and clear vu for locating and recognising fish in more shallow waters.
Finding Fingermark has been an interesting course for me, hoping to use it for snapper and dhufish in south WA waters, and have gained useful insights into where to look at particular tide levels and runs, and has made me more confident of finding fish cosistently. However, the long (nearly 2 year) demersal in my local waters has curtailed that somewhat, so the ability to repeat the course when appropriate will be really useful.
I do use the free short video content a lot, and find great tips from them. In all, I do thoroughly recommend Ryan Moody Fishing as a way of becoming more immersed (haha) in fishing and boating. The expense of the courses is quickly forgotten when the results and understanding start happening.

Ryan Moody Fishing courses

Having completed numerous of Ryan's courses including Sounder skills 1&2, Wonky holes, Finding fingermark, Coral trout and just recently Offshore opportunities. No matter where you live these courses will have something for you. Sounder skills 2 is a materclass in sounder guidance, interpretation and assessment, it is the course that binds all the other courses together. All courses are for life and you can revise them at any time. In addition every course has an individual Facebook Page where you can ask Ryan and other students questions or share your experiences.

Ryan Moody fishing courses

I've done 5 of Ryan's courses and they have changed my fishing experiences. I live 7 hrs from the nearest boat ramp in the salt, so have to make my trips count. I do 3 or 4 weeks refreshing and research before each trip. I can't recall coming back fishless since doing them

A must do set of courses

I've now done most of Ryan's courses. Really first class material that has improved my skills exponentially. The sounder skills 2 course was pivotal for me. It really helped me get the most out of Ryan's courses on Coral Trout and Threadfin. Being able to go back to each of these courses for a refresher is also a huge feature of these courses. I think I've been back to the Coral Trout course 3-4 times. Ditto for the Sounder Skills 2 course. As someone who hadn't done any live baiting, his course on catching and using livies was terrific. Top marks!

Ryan Moody Online Courses

The courses provided by Ryan are helpful and informative. These courses have opened my eyes to look for fish in areas I wouldn't have thought of especially the Barra Basics course.
This course explains on where to look at for Barra on big tides, small tides and what stages to look for them on.
Rigs to use, what bait to use and how best to rig them.
