LEARN MY SECRETS…
If you’re interested in learning to catch Fingermark/Golden Snapper consistently (or other foragers such as Snapper and Dhufish), our online fishing course “Finding Fingermark” will fast track your learning curve saving you frustration, time and money.
Whether you enjoy the thrill of actively jigging, or would rather sit back and relax while your live bait does the work, we’re here to turn your dreams into reality.
After successfully empowering hundreds of ambitious anglers with my other online fishing courses, vastly increasing their fishing enjoyment and catches, my deepest hope is that I’ll be able to help you do the same in your quest to catch Fingermark and other foragers like snapper.
Cheers, Ryan
Finding Fingermark?
Finding Fingermark is a self-study online fishing course that shows you step-by-step, where fingermark / golden snapper will be in your local region, and how to find and catch them.
It is based on our patented “fishing framework” designed to line up the 3 T’s (Territory, Timing, Tools) putting you in the sweet spot to catch fingermark every outing.
The framework is based on 30 years of on the water experience by Ryan Moody. Virtually a lifetime in the saltwater reaches of northern Australian estuaries.
WHY DO YOU NEED IT?
Have you ever heard “80% of fish are caught
by 20% of anglers” and thought:
HOW CAN “I”
LEARN TO CATCH FISH
SO CONSISTENTLY ?
Great anglers know fish behaviour. Great anglers can predict where fish will be.

It’s in Module 1 you’re introduced to the patented ©Ryan Moody Fingermark Fishing Framework, a flowchart that tells you exactly where to go, when to go and what to use. Please note this entire course is specifically devoted to Fingermark/Golden Snapper*. Topics covered in Module 1 include:
INCLUSIONS
Setting a solid foundation for your long term success
Module 2 is about working with the right tools. Module 2 is the biggest of all the modules simply because good preparation prevents poor performance.

INCLUSIONS;
Fingermark aggregate in these areas when conditions are right.
Module 3 is about identifying the RIGHT defined structure. Everyone knows Fingermark like defined structures, but in coastal and inshore waters, which ones do they prefer? Revisit the framework to discover how to identify and fish defined structure for fingermark. At the end of this module you will be able to:
INCLUSIONS :
Identify, locate and catch fingermark as they hole up in coastal backwaters.
Module 4 is about identifying fish holding coastal backwaters. In conjunction with the framework outlined in Module 1, at the end of this module you should be able to:

As anyone who has tried to change habits would know, being accountable to another or having a supportive community of like minded individuals is invaluable. So we have set up a private, student only Facebook study group for you guys to help each other!
Ryan drops in regularly, sometimes does trip reports and our Ambassadors are on hand to provide advice. 12 months access to the Facebook study group is included in the purchase price.
And let me just say, this community is developing into the most amazing resource and we are blown away by the success of our students and the willingness of those a little more advanced to assist and help the others. As they say… A rising tide lifts all boats.
WHAT'S THE COMMUNITY LIKE?
I envy very few, but the members who get to target these fish on a regular basis would come very close! On my recent trips to Rockhampton, I was fortunate enough to tangle with a few of these exceptionally tasty Lutjanids and gain a small insight into just what these fish are about.
Being a more southern student based in Brisbane, my own immediate goal within the group has been to apply the techniques within the course to Snapper and the next 6 months for me presents an exciting new challenge. Of course, like many of the other contributors to the private study groups, I’ll endeavour to share my insights into how it can be applied to other species, adding further value to an already invaluable course.
But back to the Fingermark. This study group can be a little cagey considering how prized the catch is and between this group and Wonky Holes, there’s a well-respected and mutual understanding that anything that DOES get shared between members, is merely a bonus.
There are the hidden gems presented with their elements of mystery, but as with all the courses in the RMF stable, you’re provided the tools to pioneering your own path to success, regardless of outside assistance. One such member that has landed on his feet almost immediately is Rock Elford.
Rock joined recently and his first post was impressive to say the least! “A couple of days after finishing the course, go to a spot I’ve been driving over for the last 10 years. Finally pull up and put a few things into practice, oh my god. What a nice surprise!” No prizes for guessing just what that surprise was, 2 absolute belter Fingermark!!
To rub salt into my slightly envious wounds, Rock backed it up recently with another bag of some of the oceans finest tasting fish using the knowledge and insights he’s gained from his membership in the courses. This is only one of the recent success stories and the groups are filled with many others like them, being inside the private study groups really does have to be seen to be believed.
Anglers of all abilities are smashing their fishing goals and to be a part of it is a real privilege.
Rock Elford- Immediate Fingermark Success
While Barra Basics remains the flagship species-specific course with the largest member base, Finding Fingermark is beginning to come into its own with its potential to assist a broader range of anglers targeting a large variety of demersal foraging species. Students are stretching the boundaries of what was once a course traditionally designed for anglers to target Fingermark in Northern waters, now, they are successfully applying the knowledge and techniques further afield.
Coming into the winter period, one species on the menu is the Snapper. Understanding the course content opens up the world of opportunities to target these fish across the southern half of Australia, even across the ditch to New Zealand! One angler making the most of the course to target Snapper is Dave Alvos from Brisbane.
Dave signed up in July last year to hone his skills and has since had some exceptional results fishing in Moreton Bay. Prior to the course, Dave had struggled to identify productive fish-holding locations and his results were sporadic at best. Dave entered the course catching barely legal fish and knew that Ryan’s course would be just the ticket to improve after witnessing other student’s outcomes.
Almost a year in and trophy size 70cm+ Snapper are regularly on the menu from almost every trip! His planning and execution of the course content highlight just how important it is to have an understanding of your target species and Ryan has provided the tools and techniques for all anglers to succeed within what is fast becoming the “All-rounders” choice of courses.
Ryan would love to see many more members enjoying their fishing and the Snapper, in particular, are absolutely running hot at the moment!! Course students have had a great start to the season and it’s still early enough to get involved catching some equally epic, southern winter species.
DAVE ALVOS WITH SOME CRACKING MORETON BAY SNAPPER.
It’s becoming more commonly known that Finding Fingermark is effective on a range of other species, although the course has always been designed around the habits of Fingermark specifically. Opportunities exist throughout all tide cycles for these fish and the course content quickly dispels any misconceptions that they can only be caught under certain conditions.
There is too much time wasted by fisho’s on wives tales and myths when they could just be implementing a solid fishing strategy. Moon up, Moon below, 10-20 fish a plenty, Solunar cycles, the list goes on and if we were waiting for all these elements to align, we would NEVER go fishing! Having an intimate understanding of the species you are targeting is a hell of a lot more valuable and productive in comparison to buying into what ultimately end up becoming reasons people come up with as to why they don’t catch fish.
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take and having a strategic plan to suit the day’s conditions, that have been proven to be effective time and time again, will make you a much better fisherman over the ones following solunar theories, basing their decisions on something that may or may not work at all.
Jason Farr has provided an insight into just how understanding your target species and being prepared to do the work is the most effective way to landing any species of fish on a regular basis. Jason writes “Great mornings fishing. Struggled for an hour or 2, moved around on my electric motor till I found them. The first live bait didn’t reach the bottom before it was hit, went from nothing to 4 in 20mins. Patience paid off as I was ready to go home with nothing about half an hour before the tide change. Thanks Ryan, the course really changed my thinking.”
Where other fisho’s may have packed up and gone home, Jason persisted, having faith that he was using the right technique, at the right time, in the right territory and it made the difference between having a great session or going home empty-handed.

Ryan Moody started his fishing career on the reef boats before catching bucket list marlin for the likes of champion heavy tackle angler Johnno Johnson, INXS and the King of Sweden. Branching out in the late 80’s to guided barramundi fishing, Ryan has made a name for himself as a Big Barramundi specialist and to date has put clients onto over 2000 metre plus barra.
On his way home from charter, he would often stop to grab a quick Fingermark for dinner. After 30 years on the water he has found them in locations that most people don’t even think to look.
With attitudes changing from ‘keep all you can’ towards catch and release, Ryan has decided to share his extensive knowledge and hopefully inspire people of all ages to get out from behind the computer screen/TV and into the fishing outdoors lifestyle he has spent his life perfecting.
WHY DO THE COURSE?
TO GET RESULTS LIKE THIS...
“I was quite hesitant to purchase Finding Fingermark as I live in Perth so Fingermark are not on our radar. But since they are a foraging species I thought I might get some advice and good tips for my fishing. Also when coupled with Sounder Skills 2 I have found that it ties everything in. I like the easy to navigate modules. I don’t have a favourite module as I found them all quite interesting and learnt something from them all. Cheers Karen and Ryan.”

Finding Fingermark has been a great investment and I have had a lot of “ahhhh, that explains it” moments. It fills in the gaps and gives me the confidence to be able to find Fingermark quickly in new regions and different moon phases/tidal situations.
I am now saving money on fuel and more importantly time. I learnt the same amount of info in an hour watching the course that would take me many weekends to nut out otherwise.
I really enjoy the Finding Fingermark Facebook study group. The information sharing, and ability to ask questions and get answers from knowledgeable sources is excellent. Sometimes it’s the best inspiration to actually go try something different.

Since doing Finding Fingermark a year ago, things have changed dramatically for my Snapper fishing. Every time I head out these days it seems to be getting easier, more consistent big fish and I am not spending all day on the water (timing is getting better).
Last 4/5 trips have seen at least a 70cm+ snapper hit the deck. I felt that I learnt so much from Finding Fingermark that I did the Barra Basics course, and second time in Rocky I landed 10 Barra!!
A true testament to Ryan and Karen. The highlights of Finding Fingermark for me are actively looking for new ground and finding it. Study the charts and pre planning the scan and knowing why I should look in these areas. I wouldn’t have done it the way I did without the Finding Fingermark course. A year ago my best Snapper was 32cm. Now I have boated 8x 70cm+ fish, and lots from 40cm up. Never did I think it would happen, and that I credit Finding Fingermark!!

I did hesitate signing up for Finding Fingermark since I’m from the Sunshine Coast and was unsure if I could use it in my area.
I really like how the concept videos give an overview and then the specific sections are broken down so you can concentrate on one piece at a time. I’ve picked up so many tips about new ground and only wish I had this knowledge 10 years ago when I purchased my first boat. Thank you so much for the information!
Finding Fingermark absolutely helped me, I was very happy with the course!
Gone are the days of buying a packet of bait from the servo, and just sitting up the creek in random places praying for a bite and rarely getting one.
Nearly all of my friends laughed at me in the early days getting into the course, when I would go out and spend days sometimes not even putting a line in the water, to find the right locations and learn my sounder. But now the joke is on them they almost pay for me to take them fishing
IS FINDING FINGERMARK RIGHT FOR YOU?
Over the years, we’ve listened to hundreds of anglers who struggle to catch fingermark with consistency.
Fingermark have a foraging habit at times and can just “dissappear!”
We created this course to handle those struggles.
We’re confident you’ll get great value from the course if you’ve ever said anything like:

FULL DISCLOSURE: Fingermark or Golden Snapper are common names for Lutjanus johnii, also sometimes referred to John’s Snapper. Estuaries and nearshore headlands from Rockhampton to Broome are fingermark habitat and at certain times good catches can be expected. When they’re around, everything in this course is all you need to know.

Keen to begin?
Look for the green BUY NOW button to get started!
We cater for both beginners and advanced students.
While the majority of our students will have caught some fish, I envisage a great deal of success with absolute beginners and here’s why… You will learn to think and behave like a top performer right from the start. You will avoid costly mistakes and be confident you are on the right track. We start with the basics and work up from there to cater for everyone and have also included a bonus on exactly what gear you need and how to use it.
Probably. Please read this carefully.
Fingermark are typically present in most northern systems year round. Estuaries and nearshore areas from Rockhampton to Broome are Fingermark habitat and a certain times good catches can be expected, however no techniques will work if they’re not present in the system. This typically depends on time of year and level of rainfall.
When Fingermark are present in your system, these techniques and strategies will put you on the fish consistently. The best season for Fingermark is spring and summer.
Our mission is to help you realise your full potential and achieve your dreams of fishing success.
Unfortunately, due the easily shareable nature of this content, we do not offer a refund other than when required by Australian Competition and Consumer Commission Law.
Even if you don’t end up using it straight away, you still get to keep & use it over and again. Ryan’s strategies have been tested and proven.
It’s a unique, generous offering, and you’d be hard pressed to find as much content, and knowledge in a very small priced program. When you invest in your self with a Fish Smarter membership, your purchase is final.
This is a group coaching program.
While Ryan will be active in the private Finding Fingermark community, we cannot guarantee feedback on every occasion for each student as we do go away fishing at times and can’t be available 24/7. That said Ryan gives it a good crack and you definitely want to make the effort to join the private Facebook study group. Our Ambassadors are also on hand to provide advice most days.
Look… the program will only work if you work.
If you expect Finding Fingermark to magically solve all your problems and have fish jump right in your boat first trip, then please do not sign up. This is not the fishing equivalent to a get rich quick scheme.
Plus, we actually care that you implement the materials and live your life to the fullest, be it fishing or otherwise. We want to make the world a better place by getting people off their couches and into the environment by providing knowledge and thus, confidence.
If you do the work you will get results. We are challenging you to think and act differently. We have put a tremendous amount of time and energy into this program. You need to match that energy.
We have zero tolerance for tyre kickers and people with outrageous expectations. If you do the work, we believe you will find the program extremely valuable.
The primary difference between all of our Fish Smarter premium programs and other educational fishing products is that it’s not a just a series of tips strung together.
Finding Fingermark is a well structured course held together by a simple framework. The framework shows you step by step where to go (Territory), what to use (Technique) at what tide (Time).
We call it the three T’s and it is the exact strategy Ryan Moody has used to catch thousands of Fingermark, many over a 10kg. It works and is proven to work and as our students will attest, is applicable anywhere Fingermark can be found.
I’ll level with you. To become one of the 20% of fishers catching 80% of the fish, it’s hard.
That’s why I’m putting together our Fish Smarter courses. It’s everything I wish I had when I started my charter business. But you do have a couple of options available.
You could try and figure it out yourself.
And you know what? With 40 hours per week of time and several years of trial and error, you could probably do it.
Or you could take the short cut.
You see, I spent the last 30 years learning the ins and outs of fish behaviour, building a profitable and successful fishing charter business. And I’m sharing everything I know about how to catch fingermark inside this course.
I practically live in the saltwater reaches of tropical Australia chasing these fish and I have learned and thing or two about their patterns over the years.
As John C. Maxwell said, “A wise person learns from his mistakes. A wiser one learns from others’ mistakes. But the wisest of all learns from other’s successes.”

I would definitely recommend this course and have already done so with a few mates. The information I have gained from this course is taking all the guesswork out for me, and putting me on the fish a lot faster. No time wasted on water now!
Geoff Shapland
FINDING FINGERMARK GRADUATE
It’s all great info and relevant. Loved the course. Thanks Ryan for sharing your knowledge.
