I don’t. I honestly find little need to use side imaging other than it helps me point out schools of shad. I rely heavily of DI/2D

When you scan gravel shorelines and it looks like popcorn, there’s your channels.

Michael and teri little Jon's guide service Facebook page has awesome graph pics of cats , whites and hybrids . You can learn a lot of fishing info on their Tuesday live feed around 6:30 PM good stuff go back when they started it last year and watch them all.

They will look like hot (white) streaks. There should be shadows next to them. With the right setup the shadow will help you identify the fish. I have gotten good enough to clearly identify gar shadows, carp, bluegill, and cats. Length of shadows, overall shape, and fin detail will give you the clues you need. When you hit them just right, you can clearly see a fish on the screen.

This video does a good job showing the streaks.

I don't have any pics from my screen, but this is what I am talking about...

Looks like a carp or drum.

If you want to put kids on catfish, come up here to LOP.

Put in at the big oak ramp and go out into the standing timber a dump some range cubes in 12 to 15 foot of water.
You can catch all the channel cats you could want. Pretty much none stop action.
My grandkids love it, I don’t like cleaning them but you only get to be grandpa for a few years so I enjoy it while I can

This is not side imaging… But it is a wall of channel catfish about 20 foot thick. They’ll probably 5-6,000 fish just in this graph shot.
