Do you ever recon a potential fishing site with SCUBA or snorkle?

Question

I was just curious if anyone has tried this particularly on off shore structures.  If you did, did you find it helped?

Answer 1

I have snorkeled near shore rock and coral structures along the Florida coast looking for, mostly, Snook. I did find it helpful as finding the habitat let me narrow down what parts of the beach I would fish at a particular tide.

Comments

I figured it would/could be helpful

Answer 2

I dive the shinnecock bridge in Long Island all the time and find new fishing spots from surveying my dives there.

Answer 3

I usually use the kayak so not really.. luck of the draw.. I try to go to less populated areas also..
