I’m thrilled you’re interested in Sounder Skills 2 – one of my choice online fishing courses designed to fast track your learning curve saving you time and money.
If you’ve ever struggled to identify what you’re seeing on your fish finder, or been confused about what frequency, range and settings to use, we’re here to turn your big fish dreams into reality.
Unlike YouTube fishing “experts”, I’ve been finding and catching BIG fish for decades as a premium fishing guide. I’ve had to learn what works and what doesn’t under many different conditions.
After successfully empowering thousands of ambitious anglers with my proven methods, vastly increasing their fishing enjoyment and catches, my deepest hope is that I’ll be able to help you do the same. The easiest way to catch such great fish is by better understanding the most important tool in your fishing arsenal – your fish finder / sounder.
Cheers, Ryan

SOUNDER SKILLS 2
PROGRAM TOUR
Module 1 is all about strategy. It’s in Module 1 that you are introduced to the concepts required to understand and use your fish finder in the most efficient and productive way. The first thing we cover is the BIG PICTURE – using your unit for the right APPLICATION. Are you searching, assessing or observing. Then we look at the basic concepts that determine where in relation to your boat, are the fish or structure.
- The BIG PICTURE – Catching fish consistently is about a) search, b) assessment and c) observation in real time using sonar.
- The NEW age – CHIRP and SIDESCAN. How they work and how they fit into the big picture
- Frequency and power
- The illusion of fish arches
- Deep vs shallow applications – how they differ
- 3D considerations. Boat moving, fish moving, boat stationary, fish stationary, bottom texture.
- Our three modes – Traditional2D, Downview and Sidescan and how to interpret each.
INCLUSIONS
- Concept video: “The BIG PICTURE” introducing Ryan’s easy to follow framework for knowing what to use when.
- Concept video: “Seeing Fish” – getting to know the different modes and frequencies and how to tell what is a fish and what is not.
- Bonus in-field demo video: What happens when you turn?
- Bonus in-field demo video: Shallow assessment comparison (DI and 2D)
- Bonus in-field demo video: Frequency comparisons (SI 260/1200)
- Bonus in-field demo video: Frequency comparisons (Traditional 2D: Low/Med/High)
- Bonus in-field demo video: Deep search comparison (SI and 2D)
Module 2 is about getting the best picture. And by best picture I don’t mean getting the prettiest cleanest blue on your screen. This is not art class. It’s getting the unit to show you a TRUE picture of what is down there based on simple criteria and a step-by-step approach. It will save you endless frustration fiddling with your set and less time fishing. Remember the key is to see fish when there ARE fish and to see big fish when they ARE big fish.
- Learn the main settings to get a picture that reflects what is actually there.
- Watch for key distinctions that tell you if you have your settings RIGHT.
- Learn what to look for (external cues) to help you tune your unit correctly. Remember when conditions change you’ll need to tweak your settings.
- Traditional: gain, interference and palette. We show you what to look for… GOLD.
- Side image and Down View: Contrast and brightness.
- Range, Zoom, TVG.
- Get a good picture with example after example especially what to do in bad weather days (the only days we get to go fishing right?)
- No more guesswork! KNOW what your sounder is trying to say.
- Please note we DO NOT show you what buttons to push as there are too many brands and units. Use your manual to get to the functions explained in the course. Note also that some brands use different terminology for the same thing e.g gain and sensitivity.
INCLUSIONS;
- Concept video: “Set up and tuning”
- Bonus in-field demo video: “Shallow water set up (2D)
- Bonus in-field demo video: “Shallow water set up (Down view)
- Bonus in-field demo video: “Shallow water set up (Side scan)
- Bonus in-field demo video: “Deep water set up (2D)
- Bonus in-field demo video: “Deep water set up (Side image search)
- Bonus video: “Transducer mounting guide”
Module 3: Practical Use. This is the pointy end where all the hard work pays off. At the end of this module you’ll be able to:
- Assess an area for fish and decide if it’s worth fishing
- Search an area for structure and assess that structure for “fish-ability”
- Determine where fish are in relation to the boat.
- Confidently anchor and fish “on the fish” even on small structure.
- Troubleshoot transducer issues
- Get your naming conventions right (keeping your marks tidy)
- Use your GPS in conjunction with your sounder to locate and fish on targets with pin point accuracy.
INCLUSIONS :
- Concept video: “Practical Use
- Bonus in-field demo video: “Assessing a creek junction”
- Bonus in-field demo video: “Assessing a creek hole”
- Bonus in-field demo video: “Assessing a reef”

SOUNDER SKILLS 2 PRIVATE STUDY GROUP REPORTS
MAY 2021 - STUDY GROUP REPORT
The goal of Sounder Skills 2 is simple. Help you put more fish in the boat in less time. Like Barra Basics, the inventory of information within the private group is another pot of gold and from complete novices, right through to seasoned sounder users, SS2 has something for everybody. While the group isn’t so much “fishing” focused, a lot of technical information can be found and puts you in charge of your own fishing destiny!
SS2 allows YOU to be the guide among your family and friends and puts you in the box seat to finding new ground and fishing untouched waters.
Understanding your fish finding equipment is the master key to unlocking all the doors to any and all species, so if you’re really serious about taking your fishing to the next level, then this is the must have course in the RMF stable. Inshore, offshore, anywhere, it’s all there and considering how it affordable it is, all I can say is just do it. The knowledge base of technical advice is there to set you on your way to catching more fish, so if you’ve been on the fence, dive in and be assured that Ryan and the other knowledgeable members are there to assist you in any and every way possible.
A standout member among the group is Keir Gillam. Keir has absolutely stretched and tested the limits of his gear and is quickly becoming somewhat of a deep-water expert in the waters off Tasmania. It’s not often that the average angler will venture to the depths that Keir does, but his progression and willingness to share his information is second to none. If that’s your cup of tea, SS2 is the place to take a sip and Keir’s valuable insights are assured to fast-track your own deeper-water success.
Keir Gillam- Bluefin Tuna On Fly!
JULY 2021 - STUDY GROUP REPORT
It may have been stated before, but if a better understanding of your fish finding equipment is what you’re looking for, Sounder Skills 2 is the course that can take you from the novice angler to achieving many more of your fishing goals, all in the one place.
The extensive database of information in the private group relating to successfully using your sounder is worth the entry fee alone. You could spend upwards of a week or more searching through the extensive information, there’s also a growing list of practical use examples to read through about how people are putting their skills to use to put more fish in the boat! And at the end of the day, that’s what understanding your fish finder is all about, making your time on the water more productive and putting those fish you’ve always wanted to target, over the side of the boat. Sounder Skills 2 is arguably the only place in the world that empowers you with the right understanding, putting you in control to make that happen.
During the last few months, Sounder Skills members were also in the running to win some of the latest fish finding equipment from Garmin. The secret length competition saw anglers worldwide share their exceptional catches and provide further insight into just how Sounder Skills 2 has helped them target a variety of species. The competition closed at the end of May and the lucky winner walked away with over $4000 worth of prizes. That lucky recipient happened to be Tom Peacocke, whose submission was of 2 Barramundi he had caught with his partner.
Tom wrote: “Since doing the course, my main goal was to get my girlfriend onto a legal Barra. Had been a long time coming!! SS2 helped me identify an area the fish would be holding and to utilise a side scan to mark the fish. Needless to say, she was pretty stoked with the result, more than 15 fish boated that day!”
Congratulations Tom on your effort and I’m sure the extra equipment will be put to very good use! It just goes to show how important having that understanding really is when it comes to your fishing and how enjoyable your own time on the water can be if you have the knowledge presented in Sounder Skills 2.
TOM PEACOCKE’S PARTNER WITH THE COMPETITION WINNING FISH
SEPTEMBER 2021 - STUDY GROUP REPORT
While I touched briefly on my own experience locating schools of Jewfish that the Jumpinpin is renowned for, ill share a bit more insight into just how much time and effort has gone into making these fish a regular, viable target. And just how valuable Sounder Skills 2 has been to see it come to fruition.
I personally have only been using fish-finding equipment for as little as 3-4 years. Initially, when sounding the area, it was evident that I really had no idea what I was looking at, or what I was supposed to be looking for. The area is littered with coffee rock ledges, washouts and undulations, throwing multiple shadows and forever leaving me second-guessing.
As I became more experienced, I started to piece together just what that underwater image was telling me and at the very least was starting to make out how the area was structured. Mind you, this has been over the course of a number of trips over a number of years!
The fact was, that with all my second-guessing, I just wasn’t seeing these fish at all until recently. I’m fortunate to be a member of all of Ryan’s course groups and was able to come up with a new strategy as to when I should be timing my search efforts. And sure enough, there they were! They stand out rather significantly against the structure and finally have confirmation on what I need to be seeing before I start fishing.
It can take time and without the course to reference back to, I think I would still be taking a “hit and hope” approach. Where now I’m confident that it’s only a matter of time before fishing turns to catching by simply having a better understanding of interpreting my sounder images.

ABOUT FISH SMARTER
During Ryan’s charter years he kept his secrets close to his heart (like most anglers do!). But with the death of a good friend, came the realization that he wants to leave a legacy. One of fishing with strategy, rather than relying on luck. Ryan has the experience & knowledge, and his marine biologist wife, Karen, has the ability to dissect it and put it together into easy, understandable lessons. Fish Smarter courses all are built around the philosophy of fishing smarter, not harder.

What a difference a year makes when focused on a fishing strategy. A couple of years back I’d catch 4 or 5 snappers and the same number of Dhu Fish over a year travelling 1000 kilometres from Dunsborough to Shark Bay to catch snapper in numbers. In the past year, I’ve focused on local ground 10 – 20minutes from the boat ramp. SS2 helped me to identify rubble patches amongst the seagrass and now have an 86% success rate on targeted species (Pinkies, Duies and Baldies). These foraging areas are where we picked up 61 Pink Snapper (48 over 70cm) 12 Dhuies and 2 Baldies.
Thanks, Ryan you have changed my fishing forever!
All of the concept videos in Sounder Skills 2 were great, then were reinforced with practical videos that back up the info supplied.
I had been using a sounder for many years but the content in this course broadened my knowledge tenfold, and has changed my strategy and mindset for finding fish and fishing in general.
The feedback from Ryan in the Inner Circle about not only how but also why to adjust certain settings from own sounder screenshots and also the advice on where to start looking for a new ground was excellent in my learning process.
Ryan possesses an excellent teaching ability (telling you how and why to adjust certain settings) and also has a very broad knowledge of many aspects of fishing, fish behavioural patterns, the equipment to find and interpret the fish. Thanks for Sounder Skills 2 mate!
Once I bit the bullet, there wasn’t much that I didn’t like about Sounder Skills 2. The sections on finding fish and how they appear on the different scan modes and how to set the sounder to get the best image in different conditions was probably the most useful.
I would recommend Sounder Skills 2, mainly because it is presented in an easy to understand format and doesn’t assume that the watcher has any knowledge on the topic.
I am sure that in the past I have gone past plenty of fish without having a clue they were there. I am now confident that I know what to look for and how to adjust my unit to get the best results.

Quality over quantity on today’s charter after using new knowledge learnt from SS2. Only halfway through Ryan Moody’s Sounder Skills 2 course and it has already taught me so many things. Ledge, fish and general sounder interpretation. Fish position, unique features of the sounder and when to use them makes life so much easier. Credit where credit is due. Cheers Ryan.

I wasn’t sure how much I would get out of Sounder Skills 2 because I mostly fish for bream in depths under 20 ft… I was wrong! Sounder Skills 2 definitely helps with understanding how to set up and interpret the different modes on your sounder. I was happy with the prompt response from Ryan on the Inner Circle Facebook group well. Thanks guys!
Over the years, we’ve listened to THOUSANDS of anglers who struggle interpreting their sounder correctly.
And there’d be millions more that don’t even know they’re doing it wrong (blaming fish stocks or not the right bite period instead).
Well… we created this course to handle those struggles.
We’re confident it can help if you’ve ever said anything like:
ARE THEY FISH OR ROCKS?
WHAT iS ACTUALLY DOWN THERE IN TERMS OF BOTTOM STRUCTURE? MUD, REEF, SAND?
WHAT FREQUENCY DO I USE? I TRY SPLIT SCREEN BUT THEY SHOW DIFFERENT THINGS!
CAN I DIFFERENTIATE FISH AND WEED ON ROUGH DAYS OR IN DEEP WATER?
Where are the fish in relation to my boat and how do I anchor on them?
My sounder won't read at speed. What should I do?
BOATS, FUEL, ELECTRONICS, LURES, BRAID, RODS, REELS, MAGAZINES, TRAVEL, CAST NETS....
Especially in rough weather or as you go deeper.
So why not take a shortcut?
And use the information compiled by Ryan over years on the water.
It’s a no brainer really.

We cater for both beginners and advanced students.
While the majority of our students will have used fish finders for a while, I envisage a great deal of success with absolute beginners and here’s why… You will learn to think and behave like a top performer right from the start. You will avoid costly mistakes and be confident you are on the right track.
Possibly not. Please read this carefully.
Obviously we cannot know if your location holds fish nor can we guarantee that you will find fish on your first trip.
What we do provide are the tools to know what are fish and what are not, and how to optimize your set to interpret what is there accurately. To break the mould and stand out. To find your own spots, instead of fishing like everybody else.
But it will involve time motoring around staring at your sounder, watching the course several times and practicing what we preach.
Yes — we stand behind what we teach.
If you work through the course, apply the strategy, and feel it hasn’t added value to your fishing, just get in touch within 30 days and we’ll make it right.
We’re not here to trick anyone — we’re here to help fishos catch more and fish smarter.
That’s why we offer lifetime access and continue to update and improve our courses over time.
If you’re serious about learning and willing to apply what’s taught, we think you’ll be blown away.
The subscriber INNER CIRCLE is a group coaching program.
While Ryan will be active in the private community, we do not provide individual private feedback for each student e.g. email or messenger. We have created an amazing community in the study group and endeavour to answer all questions. Not only is Ryan in there regularly, but we have experienced mentors to guide you, as well as input from past students and new videos posted regularly. There will be plenty of opportunities for feedback to ensure you are on the right track. We WANT you to succeed and will do our best to make that happen, however, this is not a one-one coaching program with Ryan.
Look… the program will only work if you work.
If you expect Sounder Skills 2 to magically solve all your problems and have fish jump right in your boat first trip, then please do not sign up. This is not the fishing equivalent to a get rich quick scheme.
Plus, we actually care that you implement the materials and live your life to the fullest, be it fishing or otherwise. We want to make the world a better place by getting people off their couches and into the environment by providing knowledge and thus, confidence.
If you do the work you will get results. We are challenging you to think and act differently. We have put a tremendous amount of time and energy into this program. You need to match that energy.
We have zero tolerance for tyre kickers and people with outrageous expectations. If you do the work, we believe you will find the program extremely valuable.
The primary difference between all of our Fish Smarter premium programs and other educational fishing products is that it’s not a just a series of tips strung together.
Sounder Skills 2 is a well structured course held together by a framework and key strategies. They are the exact strategies Ryan Moody has used to find and fish thousands of locations, catching many reef fish. Students that have taken the time to implement these strategies (and not revert to old habits) are catching good fish and finding new spots regularly.
I’ll level with you. To become one of the 20% of fishers catching 80% of the fish, it’s hard.
That’s why I’m putting together our Fish Smarter courses. It’s everything I wish I had when I started my charter business. But you do have a couple of options available.
You could try and figure it out yourself.
And you know what? With 40 hours per week of time and several years of trial and error, you could probably do it.
Or you could take the short cut.
You see, I spent the last 30 years learning the ins and outs of finding and catching big fish, building a profitable and successful inshore and offshore fishing charter business. And I’m sharing everything I know about fish finders inside this course.
As John C. Maxwell said, “A wise person learns from his mistakes. A wiser one learns from others’ mistakes. But the wisest of all learns from other’s successes.”
We get it. Anything that involves investing time and money is not always a solo decision. The good news here is that our Fish Smarter programs are one of those investments that can really pay off – in fishing results, entertaining the kids, and using all that fishing gear you have already bought with more success. We’ve put together a page with common questions you can use to talk with your family about the courses, or send it right to them! Here’s the link: https://www.ryanmoodyfishing.com/fishing-fun-with-the-family/
Let’s get into this one as I know that’s one of the questions a lot of people ask themselves. It’s a great question worth addressing…
To start, our courses are not just a mish mash of tips and tricks. They are well-structured courses that take years to make as we not only cover many scenarios, but compile the information into simple one-page flowcharts that makes a complex topic, with many variables, easy to understand. Our flowchart is what really joins the dots for anglers.
We also offer access for life which means you can go over the course again and again and we include any bonuses. We do this as there is so much detail in each course, that you’ll learn something new each time. This is a cost we need to factor in.
Many of our students also admit that they have spent many thousands on boats, hooks, line, fuel, rods and reels and lures. Only to have intermittent success. Our courses maximise your investment in these items and make the money you have spent on them worthwhile. Many people find this very valuable.
Then there is the many years of blood sweat and tears as a charter operator in the hot sun it has taken Ryan to learn the information. And the ten years at university I spent doing marine biology so I could create the courses from his life experience, in an easy to understand way. These are a combination of skills that not everybody has which makes them valuable. Especially when used to assist anglers catch the fish of their dreams and make memories with their family.
We have ten staff to pay, marketing expenses and GST, boat costs, website costs – all adding up to nearly six figures each month. Not that our expenses are your problem, they are not – however the aim of a business is to sell a product or service (in this case information) to assist people with a problem and do so for a profit.
We have been charging courses at equivalent prices for over a decade and have over 30,000 students. Many of our students admit that the biggest hesitation to doing a course was the price (so you are not alone there). However, once having done a course, many admit in our feedback forms that we should have charged more! And around 65% go on to do more courses. I guess they must have found value in the course to buy another.
Interestingly we have had several beta testers run through our two newest courses – drawn from a random draw. Each of the beta testers that had not previously done a course with us admitted they were shocked at the information inside – and have said they will purchase another course with us. It seems once you do one course, you’ll understand why it’s priced as it is. You can read over 800 reviews here: https://www.ryanmoodyfishing.com/reviews/
Then there are the private study groups. Most of our courses have a free study group where you can chat to Ryan directly to get your questions answered and connect with other students. This takes up quite a bit of his time and if you add up access for life – that is a factor in the cost.
Ok well that was the long answer to why we price our courses as we do. We personally don’t believe they are ‘expensive’ for the value we provide. But of course expensive is a relative term. We believe they truly are great value for money if your goal is to improve your catches in the shortest possible time. A much better investment than new rods and reels.
Feel free to email us on the topic if you have any further questions.

I was a bit worried Sounder Skills 2 might be a bit too far above my head but found it was explained well. I liked the infield videos explaining the settings and what you were looking at. Definitely would recommend Sounder Skills 2 – It is easy to follow and the self-paced method of learning suits me with work and kids. I am loving the Inner Circle as I get the opportunity to ask questions, but most of all, reading other people’s questions teaches me more and makes me think of things I wouldn’t have thought of myself.

I was a little hesitant at first, mainly because I was thinking do I really need this… Boy was I WRONG. I highly recommended Sounder Skills 2. It gives you more of an understanding of what’s really going on. You may know how to read your sounder but this course will either clarify what you think you know plus add a lot more detail for you, or it will give you a whole new outlook on things – like it has for me. Sounder Skills 2 is fantastic. it’s a credit to Ryan and Karen.

I knew 0% on how to use my sonar, side scan & down scan but now I know what I’m looking at & how to use it. I loved every second & piece of information on every module. Ryan – you explain things in simple terms and cut all the technical rubbish out. Your years of experience laid out in the format you have created is brilliant. The Inner Circle is very helpful, thanks for answering all my questions Ryan and keep up the good work.
