Over the last couple days I've read probably 70% of this thread. Just wanted to say thanks for all the information posted here.
I just purchased a new helix 12 mega to pair with my 998csi. Hoping to have everything installed and networked together this weekend. I've also been seriously considering adding a 360 on the transom.
I'll say up front that I'm mainly a striper / hybrid fisherman. My goal is to use the 360 to help me stay on schools of fish as they are moving and also to help find schools of shad when I'm netting bait.
I've watched a ton of videos (huge thanks to Doug) and it looks like these are pretty reasonable expectations. My biggest hang up is my fishing mentor has basically told me it wouldn't be as useful as I'm hoping. This guy has taught me almost everything I know about striper fishing and his opinion holds a lot of weight.
It's quite a bit of money for me and I just want to ask those of you who have experience with the 360 if my expectations above are pretty reasonable? Thanks in advance for any help!
