In that depth you should be able to look over the side and see them. All you can say is it is a large school of large fish. Could see that sort of pic here when the coota or cod move in. Also see that over salmon. I know many claim they can i d fish type on the sounder , but really it is more about type of echo and where you are. For example if I got that out on the reef in 30 mtrs I would say snapper or cod. If I got it in the lake I would bet on it being salmon or Taylor. At red bluff salmon or kingies or large slimy mackerel. If it was on sandy bottom in 10-20 meters. Slimies or coota .
There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.

Hey rb85 not too much sensitivity because when we moved away from the area maybe couple hundred meters at the same speed the screen cleared up

6m Werribee. Probably a school of salmon or pinkies. Maybe.
A bit warm for salmon but people are still catching them in the bay. Who knows. Or school of fat whiting.
Did you get any fish?
