    Default shallow water side imaging


    Does anyone have experience using side imaging to explore shallow (10 ft+/-) shorelines with structure, boat houses, docks etc. I like to shoot docks as well as going after bedding bream and shellcrackers and did not know if s/i would work in water this shallow. Most of the information and screen shots I have seen has been of deeper, open water and am not sure how s/i would work in this for this method of fishing Any experience or actual screen shots would be appreciated.

    Here's a frequency comparison I did some time back....

    It wasn't against the bank but it was in relatively shallow water...

    The humminbird 998 works well in shallow water and i am sure other units do well also

    X2 with BAMA S

    Cant wait to try it out this spring on bedding gills. Just got mine back in the fall so after seeing some of the guys shots of beds, some of them with fish in them I'm excited for spring!

    Would like to hear from the guys with more time on their units in reference to shooting under docks. Friend of mine was teaching me to shoot docks and it would be great to run the docks to see those fish in the water column and narrow my search time down.

    Maybe some will chime in with px and tips. Should be a great learning thread once they get started
