Master Your Sonar & Track Fish With Confidence
Learn to Turn Sonar, Live Imaging & Trolling Motors Into On-Water Advantages
Turn a day on the water into practical training that changes how you fish with Andrew Motz. This four-hour session is built around your own boat and equipment, giving you the opportunity to learn how to interpret what your electronics are showing and use that information to make smarter decisions on the water. Andrew can work with Garmin and Humminbird units, including Mega and Livescope technology, along with Minn Kota and Garmin trolling motors. Once you’re comfortable with the controls, you’ll put those skills into practice while exploring lakes or rivers around Madison and Fort Atkinson. Depending on conditions, the session may focus on finding Walleye, Musky, or Smallmouth Bass. Limited bait and rods are included, but the real takeaway is learning how to confidently use your setup on future fishing trips.
