1 2 and 4 look the goods. What did you pull off them??
If I spent half as long fishing , as I do reading this bloody forum , I'd be twice the fisherman I am.

Ink everywhere!
nah looks like schools of cuttlefish , sorry mate.( kidding)
or I have heard of mass dumpings of dockers and eagles gear
from the pre-emptive suppliers haha.
Sounders , like all of you I have seen great flares , patchs , blobs of everything, sometimes its fish, most times its bait, small schools of fish
or even weed , sponges etc, how do I know?
Lets just say that buy looking at a video of the bottom and comparing that to the sounder nothing is what it seems.
Only way to know , is to drop on it, on different days , tides or conditions.

I think it depends on how
I think it depends on how you've set the sounder up. There's definately structure (pic 1 ) so I'd be dropping on it for sure.

Harro has it dialled mate if it was him then you have it set sweet, I hope you can get to the spot in the 3rd pic when the conditions allow & they haven't moved on! One drop & you would be heading back home

settings
are all therse shots with the same settings?? as to me it looks like screen shot 1 ther gain is too high! but if it is the same settings then its a good school of fish on what looks like some good ground! the only shot that doesnt impress me that much is shot 3 to me that just looks like bait! everyone will have a different opinion
ALL FISHERMEN ARE LIARS EXCEPT YOU AND ME! AND IM NOT SO SURE ABOUT YOU!

Yeh snapper all the settings are the same except for a slight change in gain which wouldn't have been any higher than 3.8 which I don't normaly run so high

I agree with most comments
But agree with lamby. I like the look of the total picture off 3. Looks like bait, but the terrain looks the part, and where there is bait, their is always going to be something after them. I'd give all off them a run Patto 1.

interesting patto
looks like y lumps or c lumps maybe, lots of soft coral, the soundings look a little to vertical and uniform and could be doubling up maybe, a little tweaking maybe buddy, agree with snapper on the 3rd shot, looks like little shit here n there,
ill come out one day bud and help ya out, if you like
still looks like good country,
