Sounder shots
Submitted by gruntre69 on Sun, 2018-01-14 09:30
Couple of interesting sounder shots from wide yesterday. We didn't manage anything for this so not really sure what it was, although I think I'm seeing individual large fish amongst it.
We managed to get a bait down through it as you can see in the secound shot but we were set up for bottom bouncing and I think this probably needed some gigs...
What do you blokes think this is??

Bait
Looks like bait to me. When I used the raymarine gear schools of fish from hardyheads to skippy would look like this. In your second pic you can see how the bubbles on your bait/sinker going down show up as blue/green so compare this to the majority of fish around it. The darker blotches are denser concentrations of those fish.
I found fiddling with the Intensity/Colourgain stopped me getting too excited by large bait shows.

Agreed, bait fish for mine.

Bait
Since there's a consensus on the return being bait, I'd just add that the strong bottom reading with multiple tails indicates hard broken ground which usually makes for productive fishing.

Certainly worth launching a jig down
If I saw a return like that I would certainly send a jig down a couple of times.

We send both jigs and baits
We send both jigs and baits but no joy on that particular occasion.
