This is a good place to start. Make sure you have the fish Symbols turned off. The raw data will tell you more.

in the salt... vertical/diaginal "schools" of fish is kelp, haze on the bottom is usually squid or grass and bait schools are suspended clouds. dont worry about seeing the fish your after. they usually wont show up on the finder unless a school of YT passes under you or your soaking a live mac straight down and you watch a thresher come in and harrass it.

really all you need to worry about is depth, temp and what structure your over. most FF are pretty quick so even moving at 4MPH your getting an accurate reading of whats under you. some will work at 25knots. or so they claim.

You want to learn how to use the fishfinder....yes turn off the beep and the fish ID....and then just simply go out and fish and pay attention!
