What is that mapping software?

Haven't read the thread in it's entirety so my apologies if this is redundant but the map looks LakeMaster mapping. 

The mapping software is called Dr Depth. Just do a simple Google search

That Second Set Definately looks like a School os Something other than Bass..  With the way the Body Shape is.......  I would say more alony the lines of Walleye..

I wish someone would point out exactly what you are seeing with arrows stating what's what.

you know, it's always an educated guess...sometimes we toss lures/bait in there and validate that they are fish...sometimes they refuse our offerings and they might as well be rocks.   

the key characteristic I look for: 
a white blob.  if they're just a bit off the bottom, you can see that by how the 'shadow' relates to the actual object...when they get directly on the bottom it can get to be a much more challenging situation.

here's the image with a couple arrows...hope they show up...


I think these are fish...AND I might be inclined to think what looks like a rock pile just to the left of those three arrows...might really be a school of fish.

how I would check this:  I'd drag a tungsten weight/c-rig around that area and feel for rocks.  It would not surprise me to not find rocks.     no matter how long I tried.


this is a very popular spot for the walleye guys.

Lowrance HDS-7 on the console.  Gen 1 stuff.




note those fish are right on the edge of a secondary 'roll-off'

in this thread there are a total of three 'passes' through this area represented...from the initial post at the start...  that's what has me thinking this is a school of fish...as it's hard for rocks to reposition themselves so quickly.
