x2 clfarms1, had two DI units then switched the console unit out for the SI unit (with DI). DI is just like anything else its a tool but thats one tool I dont want to be without.

I used a wide beam Sat. in the 20 fow or less with DI after I found something I liked in SI. The DI, like these guys said will show all the detail ya need about the structure to include where the fish are at..ie in it, above it or hugging the bottom.

The reason I asked what beam was used is it seems that a narrow beam in 8fow or less, you could miss a piece of structure just to the side. You may be going just past something. The other thing I thought of you spoke of already...making sure the upper and lower range settings were right for that area.



Maybe one of the guys with more time on the unit will chime in and see if I'm on track or shooting in the dark.
