2- I wanted to see results at the front of the boat instead of off the transom. But, by the time an underwater object was drawn on the screen it would already be behind the bow. And I’d still have to back up.
This was posted in case anyone else was considering something like this.
This is what I use Humminbird 360 for. I prefer sidescan for areas that I pass over to come back to or for pulling my crankbaits to see what they will potentially pass over.
If I'm not at work or taking kids to their activities, you might find me on "The Rez" fishing. If not there, I could be in the garage working on my boat.
