Cane bucket (needs a hook in it to our verify 100%) and scattered suspended fish ...

Fish and shad ... and vertical line interference on the left...


3. See Fish?




Same as 4 below slender white marks are fish on the bottom ...



4. Same, See fish? I can't tell if the slender markings are fish on the bottom?




Same as 3 above slender white marks are fish on the bottom ...



5. Is this prop wash from boat traffic?




Scattered bait balls = troller's dream shot ...

Thanks for the input.

A cane bucket huh? I have pics of 2 of these, one in a different location, but pretty similar looking. Next time I'm out that way I'll try to get some better images and see.

And see if you can hang some of it with a bait and let us know for sure ...

Heres the other similar pic I had saved

Whew, you got me, but the fish like it for sure, Looks like a Christmas tree in cement, standing up.

Have you got white perch in this lake? We have them here on Lake Wylie and all other bodies of water in SC. They stack up like that sometimes. A lot of guys look for that and if you find several in line, you better drop a minnow or spoon! Mark it and come back latter to see if it moved.

Looks like some really good places

I've been looking at some pics of stuff ppl sink, the first pic would be 20+ft tall right? Just seems a little odd to me. Although I guess it is on a point, maybe it is structure someone sank. I need to figure it out soon. We were out on the lake again this evening for a bit, but too focused on trying to catch a few before a storm rolled in to mess with it.

I did have a little more time to play with the 2D, there was TONS of clutter on the screen tonight, and I couldnt get it to go away without dropping sensitivity a ton. I dropped a small spoon before we left, and it showed up like a laser beam at 25ft. Not sure what all the clutter was about, but atleast I knew the unit was still accurately displaying stuff.



I cluttered up the pics in this post sorry.


First is a 7/16 oz spoon under the boat. Then some fish I had marked I was trying to get over top of to jig. Then a few random pics of fish.
