    Default Seeing fish under boat docks


    I've been trying to see fish under docks with my Helix 10 mega image. I am not having any luck. My sensitivity and contrast are set up well enough to make schools of shad pop out but seeing fish under a dock is a whole different matter. In about 8 to 15 feet of water I will run my range out about 40 feet but all I see are tiny thin images and shadows of the pier pilings. If the pilings look that tiny how in the world can you see fish?

    You are not where the fish are because they will jump out with that helix, with a little learning you will even tell the size

    Surprisingly, I only caught 4 out of that school. They were all around a pound.
    The dock gets direct sun the morning and I think I just arrived too late.
    Here is another image with 360. I may need to explain this one ... I was chatting with the owner of the dock and I backed into his slip with my back to the bank
    You can see the dock floats around me. The crappie were under the large square section of the dock and the bait was under the thin leg of the dock on the other side

    Genec I was out there Wednesday. I have a 19ft CC with a light blue hull. I fished Peahill and Jimmie's. Water went from 49 to 52 while I was out there.
