Fold the paper along the center (white stripe). Fold it again where the dark and light blue meet. Lay that down flat with the center fold pointing up and that is what you are seeing. I drew up a couple of cartoons to demonstrate.

Here I've added what/where the fish would have been.

Had a few that had a little girth, no redness, no tux's yet (at least on these). Tried some creek mouths and some coves, but no luck there yet. I've heard of a few nice ones being caught where I saw you last. I'm spending my next few trips there, I think.

Great Post!! that is very descriptive, I assume you were casting to them? One question, the top left says 21.6 feet and the bottom left says 15.8 feet. I assume the 15.8 is the depth of the fish and the 21.6 is the bottom. Water temp was different also?

I was casting two rods with jigs. I'd throw one on freespool and while that one was falling, I'd throw the second. Got the timing down to where when I picked up the first one I'd set the hook and most times there was a fish on. By the time I cast that one back out, the other one had a fish on it......and on and on and on. That's a great question, and I'm not sure what the answer is. The info on the bottom left (where depth reads 15.8) comes up when you take a screenshot (i.e., not normally displayed). In addition to WT and Depth, it also displays GPS position (which I blanked out :rolleyes

. When I ran over the school, I dropped a bouy and then scrolled back on my HDS and marked a waypoint, took a screenshot and studdied it a bit to see if I could determine what it was. Initially I thought it might be stripers. That info might be from the other transducer (they are about 17 feet apart and one is a little deeper) and I was going down a slight slope (you can see that on the screenshot). At any rate, you have my curiosity up. I'm going to see if I can find out where that data comes from. When/if I find out, I'll post here.
