i must not understand wtf these things do because i know what a dock looks like and the ones that usually hold fish are easy to remember.

y'all sure do make life difficult.

I don’t have it, but it would definitely save you a bunch of time if you’re fishing docks for sheep’s and reds. Pull up, scan, see fish-fish it, don’t see fish, move to the next. Would keep you fishing productive docks and ruling out less productive ones. Once you do that on a dozen docks, you can build a pattern. Would definitely be beneficial when fishing new water. Other than that, I can’t think of many other ways I would apply it in saltwater. Let me remind you, the OP asked for our $0.02…

I would think Active target/live scope would be very helpful on reef fishing......and then I remember that's why God put bottom fish in the ocean, so everybody can catch one.

In saltwater you have tides, docks that hold water under them on low will typically hold more fish (throughout the tide cycle) but especially on lower water when docks can be most productive to fish.
Shorter docks will have a steeper slope to get to that deep water and hold that water at low tide. Look for these on the outside of bends or against hard land banks.
I’ll take that money I saved you from driving around livescoping every dock in the waterway.

I've got it on my CC.

It's definitely cool to watch them. Amazing to see how high off the bottom triggers will get.

We’ve raised them up 100’, dang near sight fishing. Park the boat long enough, get enough chum, everything will come up.

granted, you get way more groceries, too!

Damn, we need to pay the guide fee for this one.

Great tip

This year I want to try to throw some flies to gags and red snapper like they do in Florida.
