I feel confident that WAWI could help you out. You should PM him.

Heck, he might even invite you to his restaurant to sample the new “Tater C**ts” appetizer while you learn sonar reading stuff.

I see a school of fish at the top of a drop off that appear to be in an active feeding posture. I would spot lock above them and turn on a splasher to see if they will rise up off the bottom.

I know my graph well but when fishing on other boats is harder for me to tell due to their settings and brands.

Iam guessing, far right you are in depth of about 38.9ft? Good group of stripers are hanging near the ledge. I don't think below them is bait bc it looks more like smooth bottom contour.

Probably 68 at the time of the pic. 38 would have been top of the river channel
