So I have asked a few respected catfisherman about this pic. I was cast netting like a mad man trying to catch these "gizzard shad". I thought my Lowarance was turned up to sensitive and it was making the gizzards look like this....

So my question is can someone send me a pic of there 2D Lowrance of catfish and there sensitivity settings? EL Gato and Tom both think these where either catfish or sandbass etc which explains why I was not cast netting them. I should have dropped bait

Please feel free to give me any advice or opinions.. I'm still learning but I think I'm starting to figure out a little

I'm still learning too on my Humminbird.....the other day i threw a bunch on small green arches in 32" and wasn't catching anything then finally caught a carp.....

Your unit doesn't look over synsitised to me it actually looks pretty good to me that looks like a school of sandbass

Those are definitely blues up above it.

There are no shad pictured in the screen shot. Those are all regular fish.

Agreed regular fish , I think your sensitivity is set pretty well just play with the color line a bit, may try around 74 percent if the water is pretty clean.it could help you determine if they are the scaled fish I suspect they are or skinned fish.,

Show us some good shad screens. Popcorn. ?

Ive always heard Big Shad and Crappie look the same except crappie are usually in trees or brush so look at the crappie sections screenshot thread....

You guys are all great.. I'm going to have more confidence and try to remember to drop bait down there next time. I did try slabbing for maybe 2 min and was thinking if those where sandbass I would have gotten a bite. I think I was too impatient chasing something that I was not sure of.

I'm with you brother my side scan gave me a lot of grief. Was showing no source. I replaced my Ethernet cable , updated my hds with 4.0 it finally had to replace the lss 2 box and I am just getting ready to learn it and leave my 2'd

there easy to find and no mistake with side scan.....

I'm sure hoping

Ok for those opinions I appreciate I wanted to add the down scan I took when I flipped over from 2 D and this is what I got.... So this pic goes with the 2 D that started this post

If these where sandbass and I was using a slab with a jib above it and did not catch any what should I have done?
