Good luck with that Brian, I hope you can get her convinced so you can get what you want, I got mine last year and to this day I still take a verbal lashing from my wife, so I constantly ask myself if it was worth it, my answer is always the same (Yes), I've always caught good fish before I had the big unit but it has helped me tremendously to choose the location I want to fish versus the guess work, by the way the photo in my sig was caught before I got the HB unit

Here you go Brian. 12 lb blue caught on rod and reel from my 15' flattbottom with no graph. Only piece of high tech equipment on the boat was a cooking thermometer I used to check the water temp. You can see it tucked inside my jacket.

Brian, I would like to give you a bit of advice. I know how you are about losing boats etc. lol so please for your safety and ours, if you get sidescan, have an extra couple of guys on board to watch where your going!!! When you first get SS you will pay more attention to it than where your going!!!! Don't ask how I know this!!!

In addition to the side scan, tell your wife you need a good pair of high powered binoculars. When I can't catch anything, I start looking for Tom's boat!

I usually only have problems when I am not in the boat...like when I tie the boat to the dock...but I think I have that worked out now.

I can't see how side imaging could not be extremely helpful for shallow water fishing. A regular 2D sonar is useless in less than 5' of water.
At any rate...the intention of this thread isn't to debate the merits of side imaging sonar...it is to prove a point to my wife that I need a new fish finder...lol. I told her that there isn't any boat based fisherman that are catching any significant numbers of fish without having a modern fish finder with side imaging. So far it looks like I am correct....probably because I am the only one that is still using this outdated technology. That's a good one Brian! She's never going to completely understand...ur gonna have to work s deal out with her on this one,

Low-Tech here as I am a Banker but was thinkin when is tech going to out-do the sport? I'm all for Side Imaging, Depth Finders and the Goodies but when do you think it will out-do the Fisherman?
