the side image looks nice but does it really matter if your speculating what the structure is with 2 d vs.  know what it is with side image?

either way i would want to fish it and see what its worth?   comments?

The problem most people have with fishing deep structure is converting a 1 dimensional image on a depth finder screen into a 3 dimensional image in their brain. For some people it's really easy while others simply don't get it.

3D imaging and side imaging causes that little light bulb to finally click on.

Here in Ky lake a lot of people are using plastic 5 gal bucket as fish attractors.  They fill them about a 1/3 of the way with gravel and put either PVC pipe or 2x2 into them.  

If you look at on on a regulat FF you will not see much if anything.   With side imaging I can see everything and generally count the PVC pipe or 2x2 they they have stuck into them.  

Also I can sweep a area of several hundred feet all around and see what else is in the area without moving the boat.

You can also sweep a area and see the fish on the beds.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is deep structure fishing?

On the big pond it's 15' or deeper
