We use sidescan to watch for greenies on pilings. Another use I have yet to master is that sidescan can often see 100' or so into the shallows around a boat. Guys that get really good using it can easily see snook pods, redfish, tarpon, etc as they scoot by. As the tech improves it will easily one day surpass sight fishing. Given how cheap the Simrad GO Totalscan units are if a person is looking to upgrade it adds one more tool to the toolbox for not much money.Never understood why you would need a fancy side scan for a shallow running boatt on my console
