    What am I looking at?

    Old spawning beds? Just got my new Falcon with Solix units and 360 mega plus. Don't really know what I am doing yet but saw this and figured there may be a fish or two there. Caught 5 bass on first 6 casts then they turned off. Came back later and caught 3 more. Don't think they were spawning as water temp was in high 80's. This was near where the Kissimmee River spills into Lake Okeechobee. Just moved here and I think I'm gonna love Florida!IMG_0102.jpgIMG_0101.jpg

    In the first one, those definitely look like fish beds. They do look empty though, except for maybe the one on the edge between 12:00 and 1:00. Fish in the beds will typically show up as lighter shaded dashes.

    Looks like Tilapia beds.
