Echo Sounder Workshop!
"Echo Sounder Workshop" is finally here. John Adams (good mate) has been around boats & fishing all his life and is a Master class 4 skipper, Master Class 4 trainer and a registered RST trainer also.
He's been on the water doing various jobs like North sea commercially/rock lobster/trawling prawns/offshore oil & gas/marine officer with Marine & Harbours (DPI) and has spent more than 40 years on the water all around the world. The other thing is John hasnt lost touch with being a rec fisher as he's always had rec boats and likes his local KG's and fishing up North also.
Johns been speaking to me for sometime now about getting a "Echo Sounder Workshop" up and running. I've been asked many times over the last 14 years in this game if anyone offers this sort of stuff and not the case. I've been asked to do such myself and dont have the time to but after along time in the making John has done it.
This workshop will cover the essential knowledge and skills required to understand and effectively operate an echo sounder;
* What is an echo sounder
* How does an echo sounder work
* Setting up and tuning your echo sounder
* Understanding and interpreting screen images
* Selecting different ranges & screen views
* Real examples of screen images
* Locating sea bottom, structures, wrecks, fish
* Installation and care of unit
& more
The workshop runs for approx 3 hours (plus) and is $150. He actually offers a 100% money back offer if your not happy with the workshop. I've sat down with John and have gone through the initial worshop setup and offered my thoughts and was impressed with the presentation. Johns also consulted leading brand manufacturers and has got their input also. The workshop covers all units and has been made generic so all can benefit from. If your looking at buying a sounder, already own a sounder but want to learn more about it or you want to better your knowledge then this is a great.

update!
Well the first Worshop has been done (maybe more since then but I havnt spoken to John for a while) but overall it has been a good success!
One thing that has been highlighted is the limited info on real nitty-gritty technical stuff like what colours are certain fish, what colours are certain weeds & corals etc I know my sounder off by heart and can read/understand all this but you cant get taught that from a Sounder worshop and every unit being different hense the "generic" workshop. This info is learnt throught many years of being on the water and fully understanding your unit will answer those question is full!
The Workshop is covering (as already mentioned) the essential knowledge and skills required to understand and effectively operate an echo sounder!
Just an observation and heads up from what i've seen etc!

Was great!
Hi guys, Claire and myself spent the day with John today, doing his sounder and navigation workshop.
He explains everything, without getting to technical.....so someone like me can learn easy.
After doing the workshop i now know that whiteline is not just good for roads!
