Sounder pictures - help

Hey everyone just wondering if anyone could help me out with figuring out whats actually happening on my sounder so i can start trusting what im seeing and using it to hunt fish. 

 

Ive attached a few pictures the first and second picture is what i reckon is a school of bait fish one on a slow drift over and the other moving slowly across it. anyone with a bit of knowledge want to calrify this and let us know what they think is happening in the other pictures, also mabye what to look for

The sounder is a lowrance Hds 5 older gen and was in the Swan River off some cliffs near freshwater bay. 

Also if i am looking at nothing ha ha and my setting are off....

 pictures 1 and 2.   I believe you might be over a solid bait ball or school of fish but I would also think you might be running your gain to high without knowing SOG. And settings on sounder ,  the next two. Shown fish mid water , especially the third one , again gain might be to high , the fourth is either single fish swimming up or your anchor or rig heading down , IMO
