Subject: RE: Anybody doing the side imaging sonar from either Hummingbird or Lowrance?

I run one. How useful it is depends on how you use it. You won't get a great picture of a wide swath in a single pass. More often you will note something of interest off to a side. On a return trip when you pass much closer you will get a far better image. Anything too far off to the side stays in the return a while and gives an elongated image.

Usually in 2 passes though you can mark everything of interest, as opposed to a long zig-zagging hunt. I also like the dual view down imaging 2d sonar. Takes most of the guessing out of what's below you.
