catfishing questions

[fisherjon]

When fishing large reservoirs (e.g. Kerr, Jordan, Gaston, etc.) for catfish...

1. Do you still fish or drift?

2. When still fishing, how do you keep the line tight? Even with a bow and stern anchor, my boat moves around and the line goes slack.

3. At what depth are you catching them this time of year?

4. At what size does the flavor of the meat become less desirable?

Thanks for your input!
