1. What you need to know about fish biology and environmental conditions so you can consistently develop and execute successful fishing strategies and tactics based on your informed and accurate evaluation of the daily and seasonal conditions you face each day on the water and the likely effect these conditions will have on your targeted gamefish.

2. Where on your waters you need to focus your fishing efforts by showing you how identify and interpret the various types of areas and water conditions which attract and hold gamefish (and eliminate those that don't), and how to use and leverage the several electronic tools available to find the fish.

3. How to catch your targeted gamefish by covering all aspects of presentation including how to prioritize the nine presentation variables, select a method and offering based on the fishing situation, and countless examples of how to cover different fishing situations. (i.e. coverage models).

So start on your path to greater fishing success by taking our revolutionary and comprehensive online courses or download our digital eBook which provides anglers of all skill levels the relevent information you need to know, and shows you how to apply our Framework for Fishing Success™ to your fishing situations.

Our proprietary Framework for Fishing Success™ in Reservoirs and Natural Lakes is a set of conceptual and pragmatic informational inputs, understandings, factors, variables, ideas, guidelines, rules, criteria, probabilities, approaches and beliefs which collectively anglers can draw from to make well informed decisions in developing successful daily and seasonal fishing strategies and effective presentations.

At the most fundamental level, this Framework addresses three primary questions anglers face each day on the water:

1. Component One is applicable to all types of waters and focuses on What factors about the gamefish and their environment are important to know and consider when determining where and how you should go about your fishing?

2. Component Two focuses on Where you should look for the gamefish? i.e. Where should I fish today? The current course for this Section of our Framework focuses on where to fish in reservoirs and natural lakes, although some aspects are applicable for fishing other types of waters. Check back for an additional courses which will specifically detail where to fish in moving waters like rivers, streams and creeks.

3. Component Three focuses on How you should go about catching the gamefish? i.e. Presentation Considerations. The current course for this Section of our Framework focuses on how to fish in reservoirs and natural lakes, although some aspects are applicable for fishing other types of waters. Check back for an additional courses which will specifically detail how to fish in moving waters like rivers, streams and creeks.

Our “Framework for Fishing Success™” provides you with the most important and relative information to enable you to answer the above three questions which collectively comprise the components of a successful fishing strategy.

The successful understanding and application of this Framework will result in you catching significantly more and larger gamefish whenever and wherever you fish.

Framework Component 2 – Where (and how) to find the Gamefish?

The second component of our Framework addresses where to focus your fishing efforts on any given day and how to identify and interpret the best areas or spots to fish on your chosen waters.

The objective of this section is to save you time by showing you how to identify and interpret the best spots, eliminating unproductive sections of the water and maximizing your fishing success. by focusing on the most productive spots, whether your targetd gamefish are relating to the roughly thirteen different types of bottom structural formations that attract and hold gamefish, or when the gamefish are suspended in the water column.

What you will learn about in Component 2:

• The methods and modern electronic tools available to help you identify and interpret underwater bottom structural formations and baitfish and gamefish, and how to successfully use these methods and tools when on the water.

• The key characteristics of productive bottom structural formations so that you can evaluate and interpret the productivity potential of each bottom structural formation, and where to specifically focus your fishing on each bottom structural formation.

• The different types of bottom structural formations that attract and hold gamefish in reservoirs and natural lakes, and factors that will help you select which of these to fish when on the water given the prevailing weather and water conditions, and seasonal considerations.

• The circumstances when gamefish suspend, where to find suspended gamefish and how to catch them.

• The characteristics of various types of reservoirs and natural lakes, and how gamefish behavior and bottom structural formations differ across the different types of waters.
