    Seeing fish with 360?

    So far I'm enjoying using the 360 for seeing structure but I'm not having much success seeing fish.
    I realize they are tiny in comparison to the size of the structure you see on the screen, but I'm eager for any help and tips to spot the fish.
    For the first time since using the 360 I was able to visually see the fish holding on their beds, but am struggling to interpret them on the 360 display
    These attached photos show a truck tire and buoy anchor, there are also a dozen or more bedding large mouth Bass around the area.
    The fish I'm holding in the photo came from the buoy anchor on the left. The 360 screenshots were taken before I caught the fish.
    360 settings are default.

    Anyone see fish returns?

    You need a lower Sensitivity setting so the light fish returns don't get blended into the bottom returns.

    This is a split up school of shad and three large bass chasing them:



    Can even see redear sunfish on beds with the right setting:

    How far down do you bring the sensitivity?
    I tried lowering it but at the time it didn't seem to make anything pop.
    How about contrast?

    Thank you Wayne for the advice I will keep trying.

    I don't look at the number, just the way the image looks. I do the same with SI and DI. I don't adjust contrast, it may make it better, just never needed to.
