Reading a Lowrance Elite 4 I apologize now for my noobness.

Hello Yakking Fish Folks!
When I bought my Outback it came with a Lowrance Elite 4. The whole setup is GREAT, however I have some questions reading the bloody thing.

I've read the owners manual and even looked at Youtube videos and images. I'm having difficulty figuring out what different things that come on the screen are. When I slide over the kelp I can pretty easily figure that out and the bottom terrain is pretty easy as well as depth ect. I had a dolphin slip under my yak which gave me a pretty clean ping on what a REALLY big solid critter under water looks like but I occasionally get weird blobs floating in the middle of the water column. I'm thinking these could be bait schools? Or am I just kind of wishful thinking? According to everything I've read and seen a "Fish" Should look like a ( turned 90 degrees right? I've seen a little of this but nothing super conclusive.

I've never used a fish finder before now and I'm trying not to be a COMPLETE noob but occasionally my noobness comes out.

So if anyone has any pics of their fishfinders or videos explaining what's going on it would be exceptionally cool for you to share.

This has been an ABSOLUTELY AWESOME forum to learn from!
