I'm with Kevin on the Perspective Mode setup for fish in 1-5fow. That being said, I have the 9"/LVS32 setup and don't have Perspective. But, I can usually catch the shallow fish with a weedless jig or a Road Runner, casting the banks. I use the FFS to spot the larger females holding on cover a ways out from the spawning banks. Spawning Crappie in the lakes I fish around here tend to spawn in 5-8fow most of the time, so Perspective Mode isn't all that necessary (for my money, anyway).
