Thank you guys for the photos and the video. That really helps. It’s good to know that the MEGA side-imaging can show fish.
One factor for me is that I can get a 40% discount on Garmin products via a friend. So I think I’m going to get the EchoMap Ultra 10″ (hi-def) and the panoptix livescope. That’ll run me about $2100 if I’m doing the math right.
My main concern is that the EchoMap hi-def isn’t as good as the Hummingbird. But seems worth the risk.
