another sonar ?

[rmd]

the side view would be a very nice feature if it worked well.

how well does it work on the new ones?? it is only a 10 degree sideview. the down sonar is better then some single beams as it is 34 degree's over some of the 20's

here is humminbirds photo of what you would see



and a example of 60 and 120 degree dual down


So people with the hummindird fishing buddy 120,130 or 140 do you mark very many fish with sideview??

i can pick up one of the new garmins for the less or same price as a buddy and have 120 degree down. if the fishin buddy doesnt mark very many fish with the sideview then i would rather invest into a good down sonar. Minus a heavier battery i think i could make a regular sonar backpack pretty good and be able to go down into a pack instead of packing a 3 foot tube around with the fishin buddy


I am a spin fisherman I caught them doing a slow bait retrieve behind a bubble I would guess about 5 feet under the surface, works great on the rainbows
