in the lakes i fish the water is clear. it is a backed up river lake casitas ca.

usualy the bubbles are gasses but this might be different in the place u live or fish.

it can also be turtles. i have cought turtles where bubbles are too.

I say that the bubbles are from catfish...they tend to "burp" (fish farts was close!)...I see them all the time.

lake Casitas is a small highland resevervoir created by daming the Coyote and Santa Ana creeks, not the Ventura river.

The bubbles you see in deep cat area are springs, not caused by any fish or turtles. Bass, catfish, carp don't have lungs, they have airbladers to keep them nuetral boyant and gills to extract the dissolved oxygen (DO) from the water into their blood stream. The "air" in the blader is gases produced from the digestive tract. During the fall the weeds/grass are dieing and decomposing creating the bubbles. We have very few turtles out west.
