Great screenshots!! Helps to figure out what we are seeing on the water.

Probably the question that stumps me the most and may seem dumb but here goes... How the heck do you tell which direction fish are swimming when you meter them? I have seen marks in the past as I'm trolling but never figured it out.

You get sidescan and downscan, or you do lots of quick circles if they are not visible at the surface. You can also fish in groups, and communicate.

Horizontal swimmers are harder to detect than vertical. If the marks are headed up (reading left to right on screen) the fish are swimming up. If they are headed down (reading left to right) they are swimming down. The far right of your screen is what's happening now. Amp scope can help.
