Expect full days spent aboard a fishing boat working through a structured mix of instruction and on‑water practice. Each day is an eight‑hour session in which the coach adapts lessons to your level—beginner, intermediate or experienced—so you cycle between demonstration, guided practice and real‑time adjustments on actual water where those techniques matter.
