Default Question on Sonar

I have a Humminbird 571 HD DI that is monochrome (black and white). Does anyone have experience using Black and white sonar units to locate catfish? I have a hard time identifying things on my sonar and basically just find areas that look like they might have fish. Usually I end up with nothing or one fish. I recently just figured out how to see my baits drifting on the screen, just confused about if if drifting over catfish or something else. I have watched Steve Douglas' videos on youtube and they have helped me a bit. I am still trying to figure out how he sets it to see the fish hit his bait...it looks like his chart speed is pretty high.

The pic attached is what I think is my bait drifting and some fish(?) next to it??

Any help is great!
