I don't run planner boards for striper....will cast for stripers a couple of times a year. But I can assure you if you can see crappie in cover from 145 feet out with side imaging striper are a piece of cake. If you have a 10 inch unit or bigger they will stand out like a barn door. More often than not ...especially on the smaller 7 and 8 inch screens you learn to look for the shadows of the fish. As for picking out that one rouge striper as you pass him by....or he swims by you.....once you are familiar with an si unit you will know it in a heart beat. I have not had a chance to look for stripers yet as I used my si unit on a kayak for over a year.....wasn't in waters where striper would be. But in the next two months I should be able to show you some si images of stripers since I now have a boat and will be fishing below Pickwick.
