Is dsi

Hold on fellas. Here's why I love DSI at La Jolla.

When fishing along the kelp line, which we all do at one time or another,
it is easy to mistake kelp for bait. Real easy. I've lost lots of rigs, weights
and irons making that mistake over and over again.

Not with my Elite 7 DSI unit. Because the kelp stocks really looks like
trees, with a trunk and branches. Not 100 percent of the time, but
a huge difference from standard sonar imaging. I can see it especially
since I can bounce back and forth between sonar imaging and DSI.

I love DSI for halibut fishing, and WSB fishing since I hunt those fish
right at the kelp line.

I second what Yanni said. I have downvision on my Raymarine, similar to DSI I think. I run it split screen with sonar and it's very helpful especially near the kelp line.

I agree with all of that and in fact i think I said all of that in fewer words but the ineffectiveness in deeper water is a problem for me. The unit i had was straight DSI so I didn't have the luxury of switching back and forth. If my next unit comes with DSI along with standard sonar then so be it but I won't shop for it.
