Fishfinder Arches Questions about Identificaton

[garlien]

I have a question that some of you very smart electronics folks may be able to help out a little with....I know the best way to read a fishfinder s to go with an expert and learn...Looks like I am shore bound for the next month or so...So with that in mnd....

What type of arches do you see with the following ? What patterns ? Colors ? Do you see schools ? How do you determne hard versus soft bottom ? Etc...

What do hard structures, soft bottoms, trees, stripers, perch, hardheads, bait fish, etc...look to you....

I know its an open ended question that depends on a ton...The type of finder, conditions, etc...But any advice would be invaluable....
