Haven't been using mine much lately, as it turns out, but it is convenient for not having to wire up a 12v system. I like it for getting a depth reading, but never really trusted it for much else. However, was it Doug Tyler who was saying he was seeing some fish with the 'sidefinder' feature? I never really tried using mine that way, but it sounded like (if I read the report here correctly) that whoever it was was seeing fish and following that up with *bites*, so that's something I'd definitely like to follow up on.

In any case, Carson, you'll probably find some use for your new unit, but I have a feeling you'll step up to a more powerful setup before too long as you see what the higher-end units have to offer.
