Side imaging and shallow water. Perfect combo.

[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 467146, member: 13702"] SI is also great for positioning the boat off a weed edge in the dark. Locating fish not so much, at least around here where you have such rocky bottoms it's hard to distinguish fish suspended over rock from the rock when the shadows are so repetitive - hence my surprise at the detail of those returns before I realized they were gar. I can find large groups of fish - or fish suspended over soft bottom - but I can't pick out more than a few returns that are clearly fish when scanning a rocky bank with a 30 degree+ slope. Locating structure fish relate to it's great. If I'm fishing deep enough water where the fish won't spook from the boat going by overhead I'll make a pass by on the SI to find structures then come back and drift over the tops with the std sonar looking down to ID if there are enough residents to be worth casting to it. Especially useful in the cold water when hunting large groups of wintering fish. [/QUOTE]
