Pilbara Creek Surprise
Hi All
Been fishing the creeks a heap lately catching some cracker Mangrove Jacks, Threadies etc. It's been a while since my last post so thought I would share a couple of pics.
Came across a SURPRISE while sounding around a local creek yesterday. I've been playing around with the Structure Scan and it's starting to pay dividends as you will see.
The surprise was a large school of fish sitting out of the current behind a rock bar. What were they, we will get to that later.
Below is a screen shot explaining what you're looking at. Notice that you can see individual fish
The thing is I doubt that I would have seen this without the Structure Scan due to current etc
Below are a couple of shots showing difference between normal and Structure Scan
Well what were they, this is the SURPRISE. They were a large school of small Black Jew (see pic below). Was hoping to get through them to find some bigger ones but no chance as they were on the chew. Had a couple of massive runs but no hook up
Couple of other shots
Been trying to get some action shots....Just missed it :(

Great example
Great example of the side scan, never really understood it until recently. Missing the creek action this year, blue water will have to suffice for the time being.
