I'd say a small school of yellows over some micro bait. Where I'm from, those would be red crab but not sure you are seeing them up there. Definitely worth dropping a jig down. Not sure what the point is of the 2nd photo, other that seeing your downrigger cable and more micro bait. Thanks for the waypoint BTW. Although I already had one about 200 yards to the WSW of this one.

I like this game. I'd say the first one looks like bait on the bottom and a schooling predatory fish on top. Deff a school of something rolling through. Yellowtail sometime mark like but can also be some fat jumbo mackerel. Not wormy enough for WSb and not skinny enough for barracuda. So I say yellowtail.

The bottom screenshot is probably a mixture of bait and whitefish based on depth.

is it stage 4 on Missile Command?

Some good interpretations so far. But let me give you a sonar lesson hint. The streak up in the second pic is the downrigger ball being retrieved. There is no cable to see, as I use 100# braid instead of the original cable. Notice what happens to it as it gets closer to the transducer. Also notice how small a 4# lead ball with a GoPro attached looks 120' down. Anyway, here is another image to add to the discussion.
