Your right on the finding fish using the fish finder.
Ive gotten pretty good at figuring out what im looking at on the side imaging. My biggest hurdle was the scale difference between down/sonar vs side image. Ive learned to keep my side image setting pretty narrow. Hardly going over 50ft to the side. I can then adjust my contrast to really highlight the different features im seeing.
I would see a full tree in say...40ft of water on DI then switch to SI and would barely see a little twig till i adusted my side distance to 50-75' from 200' due to the auto adjust feature going over deep water.
I love it. Money well spent.
