SI along lilly pads

I fish a couple of lilly pad lakes and troll along the pads and fish the edges. Has anyone done this with SI?
Will it show fish staged up in the pads?

You won't be able to see many fish in pads on iamonia or mickosukee in most areas they are too thick.

This is a real good question. I have been wondering about this myself. The reservoir I fish is a shallow reservoir and we have a whole lots of moss, grass, lily pads, and weeds.

Someone that has access to Lilly pads should experiment with this and post up some screenshots ...

I would like to see some screen shots also of a shoreline that has boatdocks, piers etc that line the shoreline side by side to see how the supports show up, if there is brush (or fish) under the piers and how it would look...

These came off the 598 si that I use to run. Not the best pics but these were at Reelfoot Lake.

You can see very well under docks and even make out fish at times.

So what are we seeing in the pictures? Where I think it is pads, are there any fish you can ID?

When I took these I had just got the unit and did not have it tuned in very well. Yes the pics are the pads and one of the pics are some fish beds. I'm not sure if it would show the fish or not. Where I was fishing it was really thick with pads.

The second and fifth picture have beds on the right side. All the bright colored blotches are pads. The speed was a little fast so some of the images are stretched. Otherwise good returns and Amber is a good color for softer bottoms.
