    Am I reading this right?

    Just gotta ask if I am reading this right. 1st image - old creek dumping into deeper water.
    Standing and fallen timber. Those are fish on the right just off the standing timber?

    Second image, That is a hump on the left throwing that half moon shadow? I see a couple of small fish.

    3rd image not much, maybe a few smaller fish or bait fish.

    Let me know what you all think. I caught 2 fish yesterday, was much going on after front cooled the
    lake down to 57 from 63.

    And thanks to Wayne and you all to getting me to this point of learning Solix.
    Anybody see any adjustments I could make?

    All three images have a ditch or creek channel in them. The second one has a sharper drop-off (ledge) into the bottom of the channel so it makes more of a shadow since sonar doesn't go around stuff.

    Maybe two fish on the left side in the channel in the first image. Looks like stumps on the right side=long shadows and bright returns.

    Maybe a couple of fish at the right top of the third image.

    Wayne, I know those are not your images but could you possibly circle the ditch or creek channels you are talking about? Thanks

    Thanks. I kinda thought that was the area, just wanted to confirm it. The darker shades are deeper water or bottom change?

    Softer bottom or less reflected sound pulses (echoes).
