Thanks for all the replies to this thread. Wayne, thanks for that scan. That is the most likely answer I think for the second scan in my OP. Although the second scan in my OP "looks like" bluegill beds I think it would be unlikely that they are. Because of the depth and because of the sheer mass. Tilapia beds look like this on side scan sonar. Also shot on Fayette -- ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/05/full-5094-10771-tilapiabedsfayette.jpg)

doc, you can actually see fish on those beds in your last photo. And they're in the right depth. I still do not believe those are tilapia beds in your first image. Way too deep.

What's the deepest you've graphed known tilapia beds?

I've never seen tilapia spawn that deep. Seems unlikely. I wish I had some images of clay points at Rayburn, many of them are dimpled such as that.

Those are pock marks. That's a clay/hard bottom. Very common...it isn't beds.
They're formed by ascending gas (usually methane) from subsurface water leakage through the clay. ( Ever see bubbles coming up from the bottom of the lake?)
