Help Analyzing a Fish Finder view - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hi guys,

Out on Wednesday, we saw lots of views on the Fish Finder like those below. We dropped irons on these spots multiple times, but only for some rockfish. I know there were lots of small bonito in the area, also some very small yellowtail. I can "guess" at what I am seeing, but if any of you have a good idea of what this shows, please advise.

And yes, I know, someone will say, "fish!", but any idea of what this could be and how to approach if something decent? Irons, dropper loop, mac on a weight, etc....? As I am going out again tomorrow. Probably targeting rockfish, lings, and any possibility of YT.

These could just be showing bait, but on a ball of macs, I don't usually see the fish images.

and here's the 2nd image:

Thanks!

ps.... also a note, almost every rockfish we caught was stuffed with red crabs. A lingcod had a full belly of crabs.
