With side imaging can you see them suspended around pilings? I haven’t had a working depth finder in years and I’m thinking of getting something in the 300 range.

Yes sir. If I were in the market for one, I'd check out bass boat central. You could get alot more unit for the price of a new one.

I can usually find them and catch them but as crappie do they move around a lot and it gets tough. I was wearing them out one morning this spring and a bass boat idled by and said it looked liked a thousand crappie on the two columns I was fishing. I’m trying to figure if down/ side would suit me best.

I have a Helix 10 MEGA SI and don't know near enough about it to extract all it will do but the MEGA imaging is great. Easily picks out individual fish or schools. That being said, I went with Fur one evening on his boat and that Panoptix IS a game changer and the price has come way down. We pulled up on a school of crappie and could see our jig drop down into the school, individual and groups of crappie swim to it and just watch it sink. That was about 40 feet from the cooling fish and it was amazing.
I'd be glad to come up one day and take you in my boat and we could play with the Helix and let you see what it does as far as my experience will take us.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

If your choice is between SI or DI, get the SI 100 times out of 100. I have a Helix 10 MEGA SI and don't know near enough about it to extract all it will do but the MEGA imaging is great. Easily picks out individual fish or schools. That being said, I went with Fur one evening on his boat and that Panoptix IS a game changer and the price has come way down. We pulled up on a school of crappie and could see our jig drop down into the school, individual and groups of crappie swim to it and just watch it sink. That was about 40 feet from the cooling fish and it was amazing. I still say that I was too busy that day guiding to fish! It's been a while since I went back to that spot. I went back this past Tuesday. That spot was loaded with fish. Many more than the day you and I went. Eva dern one of them that we caught was a white bass about 6" long!
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

You won’t find a side imager for $300 that will show you fish other than shad. I’m not really sure you can get a side imager at all for $300. I have a helix 10 with mega si and if i trolling motor right beside a dock i can see every crappie on the end of it, especially in deeper water. It is truly amazing how many are under there and how few will eat though. I’ve been to piers and see easily 50 under it and only 2 or 3 will eat.
Yeah cmon. Daniel White

There is or was a factory updated Helix 5 SI on a FB sale page for $300 with a new/unused transducer from Humminbird. I'm not sire a 5 inch is worth it though. I have a 7 and 10 and the 7 is as small as I would spend new money on.
