When Structure Scan/Side Imaging was brand new to you...
I think this is the right place for this question; if not, I apologize and will happily post elsewhere. I am about to invest in new electronics. I am leaning toward Lowrance at this time. I am not really wanting brand recommendations as I know everyone probably loves whatever they went with and use. What I do want to know is, when this technology was all new to you guys/gals, how did you get started? Was it frustrating trying to learn how to use the tech? Is it worth my expense?
I have only used traditional 2d sonar and not even color, so these are big improvements I'm making. I think the color units and especially down imaging will be a joy to use compared to my current unit. What I am wondering is will I really use side imaging? And if so, how long does it generally take to understand and become proficient at it?
Any input or suggestions appreciated. I feel like I am spending a ton of money on this stuff and I think I am getting trigger shy.
no matter what I'm doing, I've got hunting or fishing on my mind...
