Okay guys, it's the time of year that the fish are congregating in the deeper waters on Jordan. Take a look at these screenshots. I'm pretty sure the "cloud" looking fishballs are threadfin shad. What about the other fish? Are they gizzard shad with crappie and perch mixed in? Chime in and share your thoughts about what is in the water. It amazes me how many fish there are between the 64 bridge and the dam. These shots were taken yesterday.

One thing I forgot to share--note in the first picture that the water is 31' deep. The further away from the sonar, it stands to reason that the larger the fish. If that statement is correct, those are some fairly decent sized fish.
Got me bro, but it's hella cool looking!!
Looks like perch to me. Probably others mixed in.
Where you see the stacks off the bottom that's crappie. Were coming down with the armada this week to see if we can help you all get rid of some of those stacks
THE FIRST PIC ,I WOULD SAY CRAPPIES,AS FOR DEEPER WATER MAKING FISH LOOK BIGGER ,NOT SO WITH DI, ON 2D CONE WILL BE UNDER IT LONGER MAKING OBJECT BIGGER ,BUT DI THIN SLICE IS DIFFERENT,IF I AM UNDERSTANDING U RIGHT
I was in the area you speak of. I saw the same thing today. I could not believe what I was seeing. I only caught 20 crappie and one perch. Shad were breaking on top and gulls feasting. The fish I caught were gorged and spitting up small fish. May have been some type shad but not threadfin. Looked more like the shinners we fish with. ?????
The second picture looks like Bart Simsons. That's all I've got
I think that one with the whiskers is a catfish.
Maybe smelt or anchovies
You can only identify them with a camera or by catchin some, everything else is a guess. I know, Iv'e fished 250 days a yr for the last thirty yrs an have marked billions of fish that I can't identify. A hook is the final analysis in most such fishin situations.
I'm actually thinking about taking a throw-net with me one day. I've got a 12' one, but not sure I am man enough to throw it like I could when I was younger. I heard that Mikefish did use a throw-net a while back under one of the bridges and they were mostly gizzard shad.
Another question: several times now I have seen something breaking water from sun-up till about 9:00. You'll see a little of their back come about an inch or so out of the water. Any idea what they are?
We saw some carp breaking yesterday afternoon as well as a few shad dimpling.
