I have tried and succeeded at doing it. Your hit rate is fairly low, at least mine was, but It really isn't all that hard to set up. Yes there is a gap for errors that ships sail through but it is possible.
You know the speed of the fish so with sonar your taking a guess at range. You calculate how long the fish will travel at its top speed. You then need to turn the boat or scope so your leading the target enough that when the time is up the fish hit.
If your getting updates on your map simply watch it and mark the course, draw a line and set where you want the fish to hit and then make sure you fire so the two coincide.
I normally set my scope at zero and never touch it. I change the angle by steering the course so I am lined up with where the ship will be after the elapsed time past the firing point. I fire a spread and normally get one out of four hits but sometimes even two.
It is much easier with cuties.
