Side Imaging Sonar:
I have had to Suspend offering on-the-water training as I have been informed by the
Coast Guard that any "for hire" services on public waters now requires a Captains Liscense.
I'm looking into alternatives and cost. Please stay tuned for more information.
Want to maximize your investment in Humminbird Side Imaging Sonar or
Humminbird Electronics? Then my personal one-on-one training sessions are the
perfect solution. With over 3 Years and hundreds of hours of Side Imaging use
I can help you learn more in an hour or two; more than you will probably learn in a

All training is done from my Skeeter 20i with Side Imaging at the console and
on the trolling motor. Classes are by appointment only. Rates are $60.00 per hour.

Seminar Speaking:
I am willing to "spill my guts" and provide the secrets and knowledge to help get others involved in this sport or
advance their skills.
Topics Available:
* Electonics and the use in Fishing. I have studied and learned alot about Fishing electronics. This presentation
includes the History and Basics of Sonar all the way to advanced uses of the most advanced products today:
Humminbird Side Imaging Sonar. Seminar can be expanded with several add-on segments: GPS uses in todays
fishing, Vertical Fishing with Down Looking Sonar, The In's and Out's of Side Imaging Sonar. I am very
kowledgible in Electronics and Especially Side Imaging Sonar and have many qualifications as a knowledge source.
I have logged thousands of Side Imaging On-the-Water Demos, I am the founder of the Yahoo Side Imaging
group with over 2500 Members and am actively involved on several message boards helping and educating
owners on sonar uses. I have trained everyone from beginning anglers to tour level Pros.
* Bass Fishing Techniques. I consider myself a Shallow Water Power Fishing Expert. I have developed shallow
water techniques that have provided me with success all across the country. I love to throw Square Billed
Crankbaits. This technique played a major reason in my Top 10 at the 2008 FLW Stren Series Championship. I
understand how these baits work and how to make fish react and bite. A technique that can make the difference in
success on the water. I am also well rounded in all aspects of fishing and bring a creative and different view and
set of ideas to educated the audience.
* Safe Boating and Boat Ramp Etiquette. As our waterways get crowded the patience level of boaters become
short. I have ways to make it safer and fun for everyone on the water. From Launching at the Boat Ramp to
on-the-water courtesy. It's an often untouched topic but will help make it better for all to enjoy the fun that can
be found on the water.
Other Topics and Seminars Available. Please feel free to contact me on any topic and schedule availability.

Here's what clients are saying:
I added a Humminbird 797 SI unit to my Ranger in the fall of 2007 and immediately recognized the value of “Side Imaging” technology. I was so
pleased that I moved the 797 SI to the bow of the boat and added a new 997 SI to the console and networked the pair with an Interlink. With
that type of investment, I felt that it was important to learn as much as possible about side imaging before my 2008 tournament season kicked
off. After a detailed research, I learned that Doug Vahrenberg held on the water, side-imaging tutorials and I immediately made reservations
with Doug. .
My tournament partner and myself soon found ourselves making the 600 mile trek from Wisconsin to Clinton, Missouri. Our time on the water
with Doug proved to be priceless! We feel that it has taken a year or more off of the side imaging learning curve for us! From settings, to
recording, to actually identifying objects and bottom transitions, Doug covered it all! If for a moment he noticed that one of us did not totally
understand something, Doug would explain it in detail with a very understandable analogy.
Doug is a wealth of knowledge in regards to Humminbird, side-imaging and fishing in general. I highly recommend his tutorial to anyone that
owns or is thinking about purchasing a side-imaging unit! I am 100% confident that after spending a few hours with Doug, that I will be able to
make full use of all of the finer details of my Humminbirds and spend more time fishing and less time trying to figure them out!
