Thread: Seeing fish under boat docks

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

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...
