That's one major bait ball!

I saw bait like that all last week but can't catch a fish in it.
I initially could not find bait until I got out in the deep creek channels with trees topping out around 20 fow. The bait was like this everywhere on the lake when I was close to or in 40 fow+ near a channel with trees. This specific pic was near a 60 fow channel.

Here is a screen capture of a few large bait balls I captured with Mega 360 and corresponding DI. It even has a bait ball 100' out in front using Mega frequency.
I've also had some nice Mega Live sequences of large bait balls splitting and scattering as my trailing U-Rigs plowed through them as I Troll. I think I still have a Sonar Recording of it but don't have a screen capture. I'll try to remember to get a screen capture next time I'm out.

I downloaded a couple of Mega Live Landscape mode screenshot of a single large bait fish school splitring as my trailing m U-Rigs approached as I was trolling. Its interesting to watch them split as the Lures approach... It really spooks them.

Did you end up catching any out there? Looks like some valuable information! Can't wait to add Mega Live to my boat!
