D.I and S.I are useless on biglake.
About as useless as downriggers for fishing the lake.
I'd just buy a good gps combo and stick with that.

Experienced it first hand. Only place it would remotely help you is at the channel find underwater structure.

LC if the added feature and unit are in price range ; then go for it . The use of the added feature may come to your advantage for instance : u may be fishn the channel and not doing well fishn towards bank ;side view may open a hole new chance of finding fish and no telling what else. Especially if that veiw show"s view of a depth of 5 feet to average channel depth of say 40ft.Just something to consider.

Thats what I was telling him. Being able to see the bottom in sidescan in 3ft waters doesnt seem worth it. And we all know you never go bass fishing. Im telling you man, just get a gps plotter/depthfinder. You dont need the sidescan for inshore sw fishing. Unless you wanna see what the weirs look like. Depth, temp and gps is all you need.

Please take a detailed screen shot of oyster beds holding fish with a 798. Sure you can see structure, but you ain't seeing a Detailed oyster bed in 3 ft of water with that unit. |

I just don't see it being detailed. On the 1198's I can watch my friggin drop shot rig, and watch the fish in front of it. Fishing with longcasts dad who has a 798 it doesn't get near the detail.

I have no doubt that the 1198 with its larger display has more detail. But for the price range and features Jason is looking at I personally do not think he will find a better unit.
The HDS 5 Gen 2 with the same features is going to be over $1000.00.
