Some Roadtrip 2011 images from Kentucky and Barkley lakes from last weekend....We marked a ton of fish but I'm a little new to this technology and I need to learn how to interpret the species of fish a little better. Right now all I'm going on is the size and shape of the schools and the size and shape of the individual echoes. Is there any other way to do this? How can I tell if I'm looking at largemouth?

What do you all see in these images?

I think these are bass on a sharp drop into Barkley's main lake channel on the edge of a spawning flat next to a point. The bottom contour doesn't show how steep it was because I was zigzagging across the top of the dropoff. It drops from 6ft to 25ft in a space of about 25 feet.

Bait ball, bass, and scattered structure?

These next two are very interesting... I'll reserve my comments until you get a chance to guess...

Based on the image, time of year etc, ..... John guessed white bass .....

John would know better than almost anyone...

I was thinking whites or stripers... I have several images like this. Kenlake is LOADED with these fish!
