Well, the look forward is at an angle. It gives something like 7 ft forward for every 1 ft of depth below the transducer. So yeah, in shallow shoals that gently rise its not going to add much. In deeper water avoiding rocks or coral heads, more so.

At least that's my take. Its not magic and perfect. Just one tool.
