What type of fish (SI image)

I am sure yall are about tired of all the SI images but I keep getting some cool stuff and still trying to learn this thing. I ran across a large group of fish today. I think they are catfish but I am not sure. They are on the edge of a drop. They could be bass. They just seem to big to be crappie to me. What do you think?

I was running 4.5 mph with screen scrolling speed set to 5 so I know these fish have not been elongated due to a fast scroll speed. I had the sensitivity on 7, sharpness on low, and contrast to 10.

Question.....what is VLT?

VoLTage

Them are some good pics. You can almost see their gills moving as they breath.

They are a little large to be crappie in my opinion but I would probably give them a shot slow trolling minnows to make sure. Man you got the picture making down these are awesome.

Good job Zack.

Didn't we go over this last week 2Gobble? I see you're one to forget your lessons quickly.

the voltage output of the batts.

They look good bud and like I said on the other forum. Stripers is what you're looking at in those pics. BTW, GET AWAY from the middle of the lake dude and gte up the lake. Thihs time of year ain;t reall any reason at all to be south of 3 prong unless you're at Pelahatchie Bay or in another few weeks, roses bluff

those may be green carp schooled up, if not then stripers.

Transducer is on upside down thats a flock of doves.

Thanks fellas.... I was thinking there were catfish at first... but think DD is right. Too many to be largemouth so I think stripers. I haven't been back to that spot but might hit it tomorrow with a rattle trap or spoon to see if I can confirm that it is stripers.

Thanks for the help Crappiehunter. The screen scrolling speed is KEY to good picture quality. The screen speed needs to be the same MPH or a little less to get the high quality. I also have my sonar on the 800 mhz not the 455. The sensitivity is on 8, contrast 10, and sharpness on low.

I would keep boat speed between 3 to 4 no more & adjust scroll accordingly....As for those fish I would put some chicken liver on a hook, slide it down to them you will find out if its a stripper or kiddecat pretty dam fast........

Dude, you're wanting to catch CRAPPIE so you got to listen to us and get the heck away from the middle of the lake. Yeh, Fannin and twin harbour counts in that LOL

I just want somebody to show me how to use mine. I guess I have an expensive depthfinder cause I show ain't figured out how find fish on the sidescan.

I can give ya a few hints bud on what to look for. It sure is different when your on the lake looking at the screen vs looking at pics on the computer

Well after fishing 43 bridge yesterday till noon... I ran up to the bay and tried to fish for these fish. I threw a spoon, rattle trap, and jig. I noticed alot of gar rolling in this area and in this area only. So... I believe it is a big group of gar. I didn't catch anything while I was there either.
