If you're talking about use specifically for lake Erie walleye, in my opinion side scan and down scan will not give you any advantage for locating or catching fish. I would put the money into a larger screen.

From experience, I agree.

I appreciate it...does the bigger screen help?

In my opinion, buy as big as your budget will allow. I think 7" is a minimum...bigger is better lol. I'd buy a an HDS 12 if I could afford it lol

Where Side imaging really shines is when you are fishing the reefs or humps in Maumee bay in the spring. You can actually see the fish echos right over a hump out to the side. In deep water it is difficult to tell if there are fish, let's say, hanging at 15ft in 30 feet of water as there is no real reference point.
