Hi, I'm Ryan Moody...
If you struggle to catch fish consistently, lack the time to work it out for yourself, want to experience the thrill of catching a decent fish...
You're in the right place.
Ryan's Story
I'm proud to have been helping people like you catch bucket list fish for over 30 years. During my fishing career, I held my hard earned secrets VERY close to my chest (typical fisherman ha-ha).
But now my charter years are finished and I'm ready to share my secrets through my online courses. Call it my legacy.
Ryan’s Story
Whether you’re a complete novice to fishing with no clue where to start, or looking to take your already considerable skill set to the next level, we’re here to help you reach your highest potential.
Offering online fishing courses since before it was popular, we now have helped over 37,000+ students from 80+ countries catch more fish in less time with our Fish Smarter Courses.
About Fish Smarter Courses
Fish Smarter is a collection of online fishing courses showing you step-by-step how to find fish consistently and increase your catch rates.
We give a No BS approach to fishing education which has been proven over years of charter success; catching big fish for clients.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN EACH OF OUR COURSES
These courses will teach you to be a MASTER ANGLER, you won’t just be following the heard but blazing your own trails and finding you own spots once you’ve learned from our:
- Concept Videos – this is the THEORY – the why behind the framework
- Demo Videos – this is the PRACTICE – demonstrating in the field how use the techniques
- An Infographic “Framework” – this ties together the THEORY and PRACTICE in an extremely simplified way. THIS is what you will use at the end of the day. It takes the complexity out of all of the variables and gives you a step by step format to learn and repeat in your local area.
This is what we call fishing with strategy.
The Completed Framework enables you to SAVE TIME searching and trying to work it out yourself.
WHO FISH SMARTER COURSES ARE FOR
ANYONE who wants to improve their catch rates and fishing enjoyment.
Fish Smarter students range from beginners to advanced anglers, even charter fishing guides and tournament anglers take our courses and are reaping the benefits. If you’re curious if the course are a fit for your level of skill or will work in your area, check out our Success Stories pages, we have ENDLESS feedback from our students that you read.
Our courses are for you if you have ever caught yourself thinking or saying:
- I love my fishing and I want to be the best that I can be
- I don’t want to rely on known spots I want to find my own
- There’s no fish left, the pro’s have caught them all
- I struggle to know where to go, when
- I have all the gear but no idea
- I catch fish one day but not the next, where am I going wrong?

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
The power of the internet has opened up countless opportunities for people to attain knowledge.
And while many people scoffed “how can you teach fishing online?”, we have proved through our online fishing course that it’s not only possible, BUT IT REALLY WORKS.
Ryan has spent countless hours on the water, baking in the sun, identifying patterns over time that would otherwise be unknown.
He has identified strategies to learn fish behaviour that took me years to work out.
And with the help of Karen’s years at university for Marine Biology, we have put together a framework that anyone can learn.
If you’re curious about what might be in store for you, check out some of our student interviews here.
We started out just Karen and I doing it all behind the scenes and in front of the camera. We now have a whole team behind the scenes helping serve our community and change people’s fishing fortunes.
