Hi Matt, I was on your tuition charter and was quizzing you on setting up my sounder amongst other things, I have taken your advice and it has transformed my sounder into the most valuable piece of gear on my boat, beforehand I was getting a few light ticks here and there on the screen which would always leave you pessimistic. Now I am seeing nice big clear arches almost like it is on simulator mode. I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for this advice as un-biased advice is not really available anywhere else. I can now find fish 100% of the time and had my best fishing day of my life yesterday after anchoring. Thanks again Geoff.

Hey Matt, What a great day. Thanks. The tuition was worth every dollar I spent, you taught me many techniques that I will now use and hope that I can catch fish as good as we did that day. I’m going to spend more time finding fish rather than “joining the other boats”. I had a crack Saturday and used the Snapper Snack, tried sounding up snapper but seem to have a bit trouble anchoring over the mark. More practice, can’t wait to have another go. Who knows I’ll probably see you on the water soon, seems we’ve been running into each other since Tuesday, Nautek and then Launching Way tackle shop. Regards, George

G'day Matt, We did a tuition charter with you in October just wanted to drop you a line and thank you again we went from 1s and 2s to double figures every trip and I owe it all to you I now tell everyone no matter what level your at a lot can be learned on one of your days so thanks again.

Hi Matt, I would like to thank you for your excellent snapper tuition course, the first time I went out after the course I sounded for snapper, found them and caught one. On the day we were talking about a whiting tuition day, have you come up with anything yet? Thanks again

Hiya Matt & Mel, Just a quick note to let you know that I had a great time on the Snapper Tuition Charter last Wednesday. The main thing I learnt was that I was previously doing everything perfectly right up until I actually launched my boat. Everything after that was a disaster. Thanks Matt for all you taught me. I'm positive now I'll bring in Snapper this season. Looking forward to booking a Gummy tuition charter for the New Year which I'll do in the coming weeks. Cheers guys

Morning, We had a great day on the water last Thursday, it was informative and beneficial to learn the factors we will be paying more attention to.

Hi Mel, I had a fabulous tuition charter last week. I reckon you guys could charge double per head and still fill each trip - seriously, most of the guys on my trip had $40k+ tied up in boats to catch small flatty... we all gained a lot more value than we paid for. I'm looking forward to my best season ever! I'm planning to book on one of your whiting tuition trips when they come around too.

Hi Mel, A massive thanks to Matt for our tuition charter yesterday, we all found it very useful.

We loved the tuition charter and are feeling very hopeful for the coming season. The notes that Matt had prepared were great and I'm sure that we will refer back to them during the season.

Thanks for the informative session. I think I learnt a lot. Now to put it into practice. A shame we couldn't find any fish willing to play the game.

Geoff wrote...

Hi Matt & Mel, Thank you for a very informative time yesterday. It's inspiring to receive and be taught new methods because so many times we think we know it all. Once again thank you and look forward to seeing you out on the water. Best regards to you both.

David wrote...

Matt, thanks for the informative tuition session this morning. I found it very useful and the knowledge that you passed onto everyone should mean we all bag out this season. Can't wait to put some of that knowledge into practice and spend more time on the water. Matt thanks again.

Dear Matt, Thanks again for the training charter this morning, learnt a lot.

Hi Mel, Had our charter on Saturday - was great fun. Many thanks :-)

Hi Matt, First of all thank you for a great day out on Friday, I learnt heaps with all the info that you provided us, unfortunately we only caught one fish (even though we sounded heaps. How did you go the morning after?) I went out the next morning but like usual I caught nothing, I suppose my time will come. I still have to get used to my Lowrance HDS5, I need to get out on the water by myself to learn. Thanks again for Friday and I will see you in November when I am on a charter with you.

Hello Matt, Thanks for the Tuition on Friday - we learnt a lot and while we didn't get any fish on Sat morning (we saw you out and about) we did sound up what we were pretty sure was fish and did all the right things so we are much more confident that we are on the right track at least. Thanks again and we will see you on the 15th for our morning charter with you.

G’day Matt, Just gotta tell you again that the charter you took us out on was sensational.. We all got heaps out of it. It was especially cool to run through the theory of how to target Snapper then two hours later it was all 100% proved and we were busy landing fish.. Gotta love it!!! Thanks again Matt... still getting through the yummy Snapper!!
