    Practicing social distancing?

    Typically panfish make their beds touching each other:



    This year it looks like the fish are social distancing some. I took this screen shot yesterday:

    Wayne - those are incredible shots. Can you share your settings? Specifically contrast and sensitivity?

    Thank you in advance.

    Front View, speed 3, Sensitivity low enough to have a bottom dark enough to see fish on the bottom (don't know the setting for that, I go by the way it looks and change as conditions change).

    Was wondering if that is what I was seeing here? This is the only spot on this lake where I saw what looked like some kind of beds.

    Yep, beds. May have some occupants when the water temp gets higher.

    That’s some awesome shots. Hope I can get my M360 to get images like that.

    Took this screen shot today. Some LARGE beds, guessing BIG shellcrackers. Tried to catch the one there but too much algae on the bottom to get a clean presentation with a grub.

    That’s an awesome shot. I haven’t been able on my two trips out with it to get any real clear images. But still working on it. I still have to run my sensitivity at -7 to -10 to keep it from being to bright. Not sure what’s going on with that.
