Thanks to some of the advice in my other thread, I've started using it to help me re-steer my fish when the target starts evading, however I can't seem to find any other use for active. I get no bearing data because I can never see the contact which also means that while CMs do make an audible return, I can't use active to steer fish past them. I also get quite confused when my fish get pretty close to the target as they also create return pings and no visual mark.
Anyone ever use active effectively?

Are you using the god-damned Akula sonar? Because the others, IIRC, DO show the blips reasonably well, so you can use it to search for both range and bearing...
