There's A Storm Coming Today

[seekonkBass]

Hello everyone, looking for a little guidance. I am relatively new to fishing (took 25 years off, haven't been much since I was 15) and now that my son has shown some interest in fishing I have pretty much put away the golf clubs to focus on fishing with him. My nephew likes to come along too, so I am proud to say that through fishing I am building memories that will last a lifetime and hopefully teaching them a new skill. However, in order to do that I need to learn a bit too. I have been reading up on all the great info on BR and it has been extremely helpful. Now I find myself with a question that has probably been posted but I wasn't able to find an answer via the search function. We have an interesting weather pattern moving through the area that started last night and the over night temp was higher by about 40* compared to the night before. In fact our morning temp today is higher that our high temp for the day was yesterday. There is some rain expected and heavy winds and it all ends today then the weather pretty much goes back to what it was 2 days ago. My question is this... Would tomorrow or Sunday be the better day to get the boys out to catch some fish?

Thanks in advance for your anticipated replies!!

It's all going to depend on when the rain stops and what kind of body of water you intend on fishing. Is it a lake pond or river or reservoir. The run off Ito the back of bays and creeks will have an effect on the fish but if it stops tonight suday will probably be best as the runoff will settle as water levels will begin to stabilize. There is a small article In this months November bassmaster about late fall and rain storm fishing. Check the bassmaster website it'll be on there or go to Barnes and nobles and pick up a copy. You'll learn a lot from them. Good luck

I would go Saturday. It will still be significantly warmer then it has been. Sunday it is supposed to cool off again. It is also supposed to be overcast with light winds on Saturday as well. If your taking kids out fishing then I would choose the warmer of the two days so they don't get as cold. The calmer day should be easier for them to cast as well.

Thanks for the reply. We typically go to a local reservoir where there is very limited cover and there isn't much in the way of coves or downed wood in the water. From what I have seen there there aren't any other water ways attached to this body of water. As far as structure goes I'm not 100% sure where the drop offs are but I have managed to find some deeper waters and weeded areas. We are shore bound and without a depth finder.

I was hoping you would shed some light on this question, since you're the MAN when it comes to catching fish!! Thanks fella
