I was curious if Bass fisherman use the side image technology. I mainly catfish but was curious if it was a useful technology for this type of fishing. My next question is have any of you that use the Humminbird had trouble with the mount provided breaking? I have had to replace mine 3 times due to cracking of the thermoplastic. I got tired of spending $300 each time it breaks so I developed my own mount.

Thank You!

I use mine non stop for bass. though i never had problems with the mounting though. I completely rely on my sideimaging for bass tournaments. It will show me specific spots on spots if that makes sense. i use it to scan points and flats for key sweetspots such as stumps and boulders. In the summer i can actually see schools of bass on ledges and creekchannels. if the bass arent super shallow i dont know how i could ever fish deep again with out my side imaging unit

_{Don't know yet? Just got mine installed and I'm now waiting for the ice to go out. I stumbled onto off shore bass fishing using my old electronics and was pretty darn successful so I can't wait to try this better technology. I'm actually going to learn how to use it and apply it! There are a few fisherman in my club that have them and I ask how they work and they say "Don't know how to use it yet" I can't imagine spending that kind of money and not using the technology!}

Yea, I kind of use Humminbird Side Imaging for bass fishing. Bass fishing is the only fishing I do.

I have broken the plastic transom mount of the 798ci SI a couple of times, but I expect that since I fish in trees and stumps a lot.

That is a good contraption but there is a custom spring loaded mount commercially available made by Transducer Shield and Saver.

Man that looks awesome. I've broke mine a couple times and it's broke at the moment as well. I wish I had one of those.

Yes to key in on the spot on a spot

Due to the thousands of bass fishermen and crappie fishermen that use SIde Imaging, your question should have been.

"Does anyone other than me use Side Imaging for catfishing?"
