I am currently taking a Padi open water course, and I've been watching many dive videos on youtube about Beaver Lake and lake diving in general. Every once in awhile I'll see a big catfish (or bass), but it is rare.
As an avid (albeit horrible!) catfisherman throughout my teenage years and now into my twenties, I was wondering if any of you could help improve my catfishing from your scuba experiences.
When have you sighted most big catfish? What kind were they, how deep, temperature, activity? Also, were they above or below the thermocline? That's a big one, as I don't know if I'm generally fishing too deep or not deep enough. Have you ever seen catfish suspended, or are they usually hugging the bottom?
I hope I posted this in the right forum section. Who knows, maybe one day when I'm certified we'll run into each other!
(I'm interested in your experiences in general, not just Beaver lake.)
Oh, and hi all! I'm new here.
