The lowrance HDS units are nice too...bout to buy a HDS-5 for my whaler. IMO the down imaging and side scan are pretty useless for inshore saltwater fishing. Works good for finding laydowns and brush in freshwater.

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.

Garmin makes the best GPS systems imo. Now their sounders arent the best in the business but as far as map quality Garmin is #1

I see side scan in saltwater as a waste of money. Its really unnecessary and not useful. Sure it can see what the bottom looks like 300' to the sides in 60' of water, but in 3-6' of water, really need to see what the bottom looks like? Maybe you can find that sunk scb.

I have to disagree, ive got an hds10 on dash and hds7 on bow and the down/side imaging is incredible in lk p and breton sound. I can tell if theres fish on a structure before making 1 cast.

I could see how it could be useful in that area.....he mainly fishes big lake,water averages 7 foot deep. Down imaging and side scan does very little for finding oyster reefs that hold most of the fish.

What structure is there in bl to fish besides reefs and holes. Find em with the depth finder. I mean J if you wanna spend your money on it, go for it. I couldnt justify buying side imaging fishing strictly big lake.
