Good meter work. That wouldn't look like much on my FF...although I use an older FF with a 3" screen.
At that depth they look like "dots" suspended over the bottom typically 5-15' above the seafloor. If you bottom lock your unit o the first 40' off the floor and use the low frequency you can pick them up pretty discernibly.

for instance in 400' you would see from 360-400. you can see the bottom color change indicating a resonance off of some hard bottom and you will see dots suspended above that but not attached to anything else. Drop your baits and reel em up 2 at a time.

BTW thats a nice lookin outback in the left of the shot
