Yes, but these fish weren't on beds; they were milling around in shallow water (5-6 feet) where a creek runs into a lake. I was actually casting to them, aka sniping. I can see bream beds very clearly, though, the beds I've found don't have any fish on them yet. The females were full of eggs, so it should happen soon.
I cruise flats and shoreline in perspective mode and can see beds pretty clearly, as long as the depth is under 15 feet or so. I use it more than side view now. I did upgrade to the LVS 34 transducer, which is quite noticeably better than the 32.
