Yes, SCUBA fins work just like tube fins. Float tube fins only give more thrust on the down stroke.
Yes, he can catch whatever fish he wants out of a float tube. I use mine for mainly bass fishing and it works absolutely GREAT for working jigs and plastic worms. Just cruising, they have the right speed for trolling floating swimbaits.
My biggest fish was caught out of my float tube. I was fishing for bass from my old Fish Cat 4 float tube using a six-inch, Texas-rigged oxblood/red flake plastic worm and eight-pound line. I'm cruising the shoreline in my tube, casting my worm out to the side into deeper water and slowly bouncing it back at an angle. I don't feel any tapping, I don't feel a hit, I don't feel the bite at all. It was just a nice, hard jerk followed by a hell of a run. When I reared back and set the hook, I thought I had hooked THE bass, but after a couple seconds of that long run, I figured out what it was. 2 1/2 hours later after being dragged around this arm of the lake, I finally tire out the fish and get it onto my tube. Both it's head and tail hung six inches off each side of my tube. 44-8 is what it weighed after I got it to a scale at the marina. I was using a 5 1/2 foot Fenwick Fenglass Lunkerstick 2000 rod and an Ambassadeur 2500C reel. It was an AWESOME experience!
