What are these?

[bobby b.]

I was vertical fishing a spot two days ago (see graphs) that had produced the day before.  I got pretty excited because that is about the most fish that I had graphed this winter.  But nada.  Zero bites.  I ask this because I had posted a screen shot some months ago and got a response indicating they may have been large gizzard shad even though I had caught some bass out of it.

So what do you think?  Bass that were not interested in my presentation or some other kind?

Thanks

Bobby

Ha... Good one.

 

Those are fish in my book. What kind, no idea until I catch one.  Someone smarter than me will have to chime in.

I had this on my graph last winter and could never catch a fish out of it either.

looks like a brush pile or tree with some fish in it..the large streak to right appears to maybe be a limb in the edge if the cone or shad beside the brush..from the down image it looks like a classic brush pile with fish in it...

My buddy had similar marks on his graph on a lake here in NE KS a few days ago. Dropped a jigging rap on them and snagged huge gizzard shad one after the other instead of nailing whites and wipers like he expected.

Thanks for your thoughts - I know its not trees because it disappeared after a bit while the smaller bait fish remained in the area.  So I'm thinking larger fish but what brand?  Been trying to determine how to distinguish the difference between species on the graph.  Been told that bass can run with the large gizzard shad and thus catching a few does not mean that they are all bass.  Lately OAF members have been posting more and more screen shots - that is very helpful.

It looks like a screen shot I posted once. It was a bunch of gar down in long creek. They came up to the surface all around the boat.

I'm referring to this screen shot.

Yep, in that case you could make a very good guess that what was on the screen was what you saw on the surface given that you could not get anything to bite.  In my case there was no other datapoint other than no bite.  However, a couple of Springs back I caught allot of SM off a point where fish were showing on the graph and gar were on the surface so what was showing on the graph - some of both?    I'm thinking this is just one of the things that separates the Pros from the Amateurs  - experience gives the Pro a pretty good idea of which is which.
