Importance of side imagining
Well guys i got the opportunity to fish recently and found the fishing a little slow. I slow trolled and upon watching my side image i found the fish. Here is what a school of crappie looks like in the river here on a 10-12 ft flat. I get asked a lot about my electronics and thought i would share why they are important. If i had only Di or sonar I would have missed the opportunity to catch them as i wouldn't have know they were there. Immediately upon seeing the fish i made a u turn to my right and utilized the gps to parallel the track i had just made. Well i cleaned up on that school of nice crappie to say the least. I could have thrown a buoy out to mark them but the fish move a lot and with the side imaging i can keep up with them pretty dang good. I hope this helps someone out. I would suggest the people looking for new electronics to buy what they can afford or save a little longer and get you something nicer and not settle for just anything.
A brush pile i found using the side imager, notice the sonar didnt pick it up. I made u turn and started fishing it too.

Dang, man! That's nice! Not used to reading one of those but are those white marks off to the right on the first picture the school of crappie? I can also see the advantage of using that 4 screen split screen to verify what you are seeing! Thanks for posting this as it definitely will be factored in on what I do as far as buying a side-imager. Gonna look at HB at Grizzly this weekend, but that Lowrance sure is nice!Hey, is that unit mounted up front with a transom transducer?
My wife keeps saying I never listen to her....... or something like that!

Cmj you funny man, the white specks on the right in this case are crappie and you can see there black shadows to the right correlate. I circled around the school a couple times and was able to snaps some photos while all my rods were bending with a bite lol. It was tricky but i figured the picts might help some folks so i did miss some fish but it got exciting quick.
Ski buddy the fish i caught that day went to my buddy that cuts my wood slat to size for me. Got to keep him happy too. I am gonna try the driver mr. Harold built for me soon.
