I'm going to go with no, traditional cone and downscan are not directional.

(Although, regardless of whether the transducer is pointed forward or backward, the downscan has the farthest reach to the sides when the 'ducer is installed "straight," iow installed parallel to the hull's spine/direction of travel.)

If you had side scan, which shows directional (left and right) views, then I'd say yes.
