    Bluegill beds?

    Bluegill beds? Most of what I have seen online has a greater concentration of beds in the group, but they look just like this.

    I would agree...probably bluegill and usually more of them in a cluster. I would reduce the range down some (about 50) and investigate further...looks like a fish in the lower left. Did you try catching any?

    Yeah, it is a little hot. I was playing around with sensitivity and contrast a good bit.

    I'm not sure what the water clarity is there but if they are bluegill beds they spawn deep in East TN.

    The depth readout is where the boat is at the time the snapshot was made.... the top of the screen on SI .... the depth was steadily dropping off ... plus the beds were quite a bit off to the side and it is probably much more shallow there.

    The beds in my image are probably in 4'-6' of water
