Down Imaging/Side Imaging Fish Finders
Conventional fish finders are down imaging fish finders: they extend sonar waves down, beneath the boat. And side imaging fish finders? If you guessed they extend sonar waves to the side(s) of the boat, you would be correct! Side imaging fish finders are less user intuitive than conventional, down imaging models. Most of the time, they return an incredibly clear, almost photographic image of the aquatic landscape that down imaging finders can not. Side imaging and some down imaging fish finders provide clearer images of the world below, but they come with one (potentially massive) setback: most can not read deeper than 200 feet, making them great for shallower waters, but inadequate for deep water fishing.
It takes time to become accustomed to reading your side imaging fish finders, but, their images can be very clear. It is easy to find submerged trees, rocks, fish and more under the water! Just remember that any fish finder is continually emitting sonar waves, so if it is still, it will scan the same area over and over.
