I've been trying to see fish under docks with my Helix 10 mega image. I am not having any luck. My sensitivity and contrast are set up well enough to make schools of shad pop out but seeing fish under a dock is a whole different matter. In about 8 to 15 feet of water I will run my range out about 40 feet but all I see are tiny thin images and shadows of the pier pilings. If the pilings look that tiny how in the world can you see fish?
You are not where the fish are because they will jump out with that helix, with a little learning you will even tell the size

Here lately I've been looking at docks in Jimmie's creek Genec. I've done ok on Rockfish and bass in there but crappie elude me.
mustfish,those 3 docks near the rock wall is usually good,however for past few months it has been empty,i have been finding them lately in less than 5 fow,went wed and had a great day,had a 2 1/2 lb and 4 2lb and many well over a lb,biggest 7 weigh 13 lb ,next week I fish buggs tournament and sure would have love to had them then,did not catch a fish till after 1 ;00 then the sun started warming up the back of creeks.it was 48 % and that even it got up to 53%,in a few more days it will be on strong

JP nice pic,look like some of them crappies are over a lb or even more maybe 2 lb ,did you catch any ,if so how big were they
Surprisingly, I only caught 4 out of that school. They were all around a pound.
The dock gets direct sun the morning and I think I just arrived too late.
Here is another image with 360. I may need to explain this one ... I was chatting with the owner of the dock and I backed into his slip with my back to the bank
You can see the dock floats around me. The crappie were under the large square section of the dock and the bait was under the thin leg of the dock on the other side

good pic and I can see the floats around you and the fish:ThumbsUp
Genec I was out there Wednesday. I have a 19ft CC with a light blue hull. I fished Peahill and Jimmie's. Water went from 49 to 52 while I was out there.
The one thing that helped me the most was setting the SI distance as low as it would go (I think it's 50').
Mustfish,I have a blue bass tracker with full windshield but next week I start camping at Buggs,will not hit Gaston till June or fall

If fish are under a dock they should really be visible. I really like the blue pallet. You should really be able to see their shadows as shown in this picture I took.
WOW. Thank you for taking the time to point out what's what!Quote:

Thanks for posting. I have been trying to follow as many threads as possible with screen shots and interpretation. Trying to decide if I’m going to take the plunge and buy a mega SI. I have a gen 1 si but wasn’ sure if there was a significant difference in clarity...Quote:
