That's where I use 2D.

SS for when I'm looking for spots. DS when I'm examining a spot. 2D when I'm fishing a spot.

I don't know how others do it, but I keep an eagle eye on the FasTrack (Lowrance feature. Don't know the Bird equivalent) on the right side of my display so I can see the first bump off the bottom to avoid running over a brush pile or whatever I'm fishing. Once I find the edge with 2D on a fishy spot, I'll fling a marker up wind and make a mental picture of how it relates to the spot I want to fish once it settles.
