looking for any input on this fish finder from you guys on here that have seen it or used it....
i was getting ready to hit the order button but figured checking here first might be a good idea. this unit is about $250 more than i wanted to spend but i think the SI will be worth it. bass pro has them on sale and only 100 more dollars than the 5s. this will be a big upgrade from my current early 2000s humminbird 525 that i currently basicaly just use as a depth finder.
I will be primarly using it for crappie fishing in a shallow lake with many channels. i am hoping the SI will be very useful locating fish along the banks in channels and finding which docks and boat lifts hold the most fish. ?? would that be a reasonable expection from side imaging? and also locate some unknown to me structure/brush piles on the main lake that may hold some fish as well.
any input appreciated. this is a big purchase for me. i want it to be the right one and be able to do with it what i think i will be able to.
