Oceanside Tackle have these good books {How to Use an Echo Sounder/Fish Finder} It start from real basic to more advanced towards the middle/end. It has many real images with full explanations. If you want more knowledge of your sounder its worthwhile getting. Not sure if anyone else sells it but worth reading.the author lives in Perth and manages Fremantle Boat school. |

You always hear people on various forums, asking questions about understanding their sounders, well this book does just that. Worth every cent I reckon, I understand my sounder much better after reading it once. Look out fishies. The book has five sections.1-Background 2-Understanding Echo Sounding 3-Detection of Fish 4-Using Your Echo Sounder 5-Interpretting Acoustic Image-Lots of real images and different settings |

I bought one of these books and must say "thanks" to you Dan. Excellent book and as soon as I bought it I learnt a heap. While I was at "the Shop" I spoke to a young lad who easily identified the bloody snapper under my boat in the sounder shot i showed him from when i was fishing the sound. They just werent on the bite. wish i knew then, I would of put alot more effort into that spot instead of fishing it for 30mins and leaving. |

Give a man a beer and he'll waste an hour. Teach him to brew and he'll waste a lifetime. | |
