SI takes a lot of playing around with the settings; water conditions, plankton, even very fine debris can drive you nuts. This is an view of a big school of crappie with 2D sonar on the left and SI on the right (right side view only) taken during flooding conditions. You can see the fish shadows to the left of the water column. The water was dirty but with adjustments I was able to get excellent results. This spot was hot for over 2 months, with limit catches on every trip. After they closed the dam the fish dispersed, but it was fun while it lasted. Finding this spot gave me a chance to experiment with settings and I learned a lot about SI. Now I am able to easily scan structure and better accurately interpret what I am seeing. You're right about a learning curve, but it's the only way to get the most out of your unit. See image below.

Tight lines,
