At the core of our educational materials is our proprietary "Framework for Fishing Success™

Our Framework for Fishing Success™ is comprised of three components, which collectively can be applied to a wide variety of fishing situations and species and will enable you to evaluate the current fishing situation you face and develop successful daily and seasonal fishing strategies and tactically execute your fishing strategy by applying our Framework to your current fishing situation.

The three components of our Framework for Fishing Success are the core components of developing a fishing strategy:

1. What you need to know about fish biology and environmental conditions? (So you can evaluate the conditions you face each day on the water and the likely effect these conditions have on your targeted gamefish so you can develop and execute on a successful daily strategy).

2. Where (and How) to find your targeted gamefish?

3. How to catch your targeted gamefish? (i.e. Presentation Considerations).

Course Outlines

We currently offer three online courses, one course for each component of our Framework for Fishing Success™. Alternatively you can purchase at a discount our eBook:

"A Framework for Fishing Success™ in Reservoirs and Natural Lakes" which combines all the information in our three Course offerings.

The first component of our educational offerings include a section on key inputs of our Framework for Fishing Success™ that is applicable to all fishing situations.

Our two other components (Where to find the gamefish and How to catch them) primarily focuses on fishing reservoirs and natural lakes however much of the information is applicable to other fishing situations. Future materials will cover other types of fishing situations (waters).

We recommend that you start with our Framework Component 1 course, and progress sequentially to Component 2 and 3.

The first component of our framework provides you with the key inputs or critical information you must understand and evaluate as you consider where and how to fish on any given day and water.

What you will learn in Component 1:

• The important gamefish attributes, biology, behavior and preferences that impact where gamefish live and how they behave.

• The key environmental conditions, and how these environmental factors impact fish behavior and location, including seasonal considerations.

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.

The third component of the framework addresses factors you should consider when determining how to successfully present to, or fish for, and catch gamefish in the productive areas identified in section two of the framework. We collectively call these Presentation Considerations.

What you will learn about in Component 3:

• The nine presentation variables available, key considerations for each variable, and which ones you should prioritize and focus on.

• The different presentation methods available, the key factors to consider when selecting a method, and how to select the best presentation method for a variety of different fishing situations.

• The different types of offerings (lures, flies, bait), and the key factors to consider when selecting your offering (lure, fly or bait) in any situation.

• Presentation execution approaches and best practices.

• How to optimize the execution of your presentations to effectively, efficiently, and methodically cover each targeted spot by successfully executing a coverage model which includes positioning and boat control best practices and how to leverage boat electronics to optimize your presentations.

• Presentation execution approach and application through numerous examples of situational analysis and coverage models to deploy when fishing all of the different types of bottom structural formations and for suspended gamefish.
