snapshots with my new 997 + a question

[CrappieCrazed]

Here are a few shots I took of a few creek mouths stacked with fish, another is a pic of what looks like a bunch of tires on the river bottom. My question is for SI owners that know what they are looking at. The third picture is of a tree or branch but just below it there are a handful of bright white flecks almost drifting out of the screen. Are those fish. They look as if they are pretty decent size fish. The reason why I ask is because I know that Bluecats are very structure oriented and I fish for them a bunch on the river but I didnt bring poles this day. Just went out to play with my new toys. Anyways hope everyone enjoys the shots and answers would be appreciated on the 3rd pic! By the way, finding bait fish is simply amazing with si. I found shad all over the place and would have never known they were there with out si. This is important when your a catfisherman that needs to find bait fresh every time out!

more! By the way, does anyone see any pics in the last pic here also. I see some white specs with shadows below the tree but im not for sure if its rocks or what. Im just trying to figure out what fish look like on the si when they are close to the bottom. Its easy to see them in the water column but Im having trouble seeing them in the si images when they are above the bottom of the si image.

I'd say the white specs below the tree are rocks; next time, use your cursor to zoom in and blow the picture up. If they're big blues, you should be able to make them out.

I see that and that is a no brainer for sure but you gotta remember Im trying to spot catfish on Si and Im not saying there down there just laying in the mud but I know they relate to the bottom. Not a professional but I would say that most of the time with high current sutuations like right now on the Ohio your not gonna get to see cat suspended in the water column like that. I Just figure Im not gonna get the luxury of hunting for shadows under fish. Im still tweaking my graph so im sure I can still get my pics to look better.

I will say this though, I seem to get a lot better si shots and readings in lakes or creeks where there is no current. As you can see the shots of the creek mouth turned out pretty good but the shots of the trees on the bottom didnt. The only difference is Im in high current areas. Could that cloud things up??

I may have confused you and maybe not. In my first post, the 3rd picture down my curser is right on top of what I called a tree but it looks more like just a straight branch. Just below that there is some white flecks. Approx. 9 of them. You may have been looking at the right picture and if so let me know. The only reason I questioned it is because on my second post where I posted the tree I can see rocks plain as day. Let me know if you think those are rocks also. There not very big white flecks but they arent casting shadows like rocks normally do.

In the shot with the cursor on the tree... I would call those fish.

Thanks fellas and sorry for describing which shot it was incorrectly in my first post. I was gonna zoom in on them but just didnt in time. I was hoping folks thought those were fish because that is exactly what I was hoping they would look like. They were easy for me to pick out when I was on the water but like i said i wasnt sure because it was one of the first times I had been on the water with it. I appreciate everyones input on this thread. Im actually excited that I learned something!!
