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.
