Yikes...looks like some 10+ lbrs ...LOL Are the actual fish showing up on those images (besides the one you have in hand..LOL)? All I can see are the shadows.

The fish are in the water column-to-bottom transition so they don't show and the Sensitivity is too high. I wasn't concerned with image quality when I saw that school. The area is a long point with a building foundation on it and someone has put a brush pile nearby also. Today is the first time I have seen that brushpile.
I saw them on Side Imaging first before I got to the foundation, dropped the trolling motor and took this shot before I moved to where the foundation is (about 30' more).

First thing this morning when I was establishing a pattern, I checked this bridge that is under a bridge. After I passed over it, I went back with the MEGA 360 deployed to check it out. While I was getting into position to fish there a guy spider rigging came by and asked were there any fish down there. I said yep, watch this, lowered a dropshot rig, got a hit as soon as it hit the bottom, reeled it in and showed the guy the bass (about 2#). He asked is that what I am fishing for.

That's a healthy looking fish. Good Stuff.
OK. Now all I have to do is find a bridge under a bridge. Shouldn't be that hard.
Really nice shots Wayne!
Wayne. Do you always use the 1,050 -1,175 MHz on your SI ??? .. Or just at certain depth ranges?? Could you explain how the different frequencies work on SI.?? Thanks
I change stuff to see what the effect is. BUT technically the default range is the best for the transducer that is attached.
Ignore what my settings are. Use your stuff the correct way.
There is a discussion about that here: http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=1022195
