    I'm no crappie expert but wouldn't think they would be out in the open like that. Nice clear image though. Is that a thermal layer showing up at about 10ft?

    probably an anchor drag, not a skeg drag

    No problem seeing them when they aren't in the water column ... pretty sweet imaging. Could very well be a school of crappie holding off the side of that area with a little harder bottom.

    Specks don't "need" brush piles or structure to hang on - I would say it's a good chance they are crappie TB.

    I see them suspended in a couple places I fish deep and no where near anything, and I know they are crappie because I have spooned them up before...

    They are probably shadowing the baitfish in open water, this time of year that's what they do
