Good info.

I'm looking to upgrade my sonar from the Fischer Price Lowrance toy I have.

Would you guys recommend DI for where we fish or is it just fluff?

Lowrance makes a good unit. If you dial it in right, you can get even the cheapest of units to make a picture like those above. Down imaging is more for shallow water and locating structure. Locally it would be best for fishing spotties/sandies on structure in the bays.

Agree with all of this. Downscan can be great for pinpointing structure for Lobstering etc. Sidescan I am finding useful for determining "Which way did they go George?".
