Smokinal Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 I absolutely love fishing in the rain. Don't know what it is about it, the wetter the better as far as I'm concerned. We have been out in some surface frothing downpoors and just slayin em. 1 Quote
Stlbob Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 love it myself,some of the biggest catfish ever in a driving hard rain. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 9, 2014 Super User Posted February 9, 2014 I have had some of my best fishing trip while it was raining. As long as I have rain gear on it doesn't bother me. Quote
xxxblungblung Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 This year the rain will not stop me. The cold and rain together however thats going to stop me. 1 Quote

Super User Jar11591 Posted February 10, 2014 Super User Posted February 10, 2014 This year the rain will not stop me. The cold and rain together however thats going to stop me. My thoughts exactly. Rain or cold seperately I can deal with, especially if I'm catching fish. But combining the two makes my patience run VERY thin. Quote
Super User Alpster Posted February 10, 2014 Super User Posted February 10, 2014 Why can't I see the videos? I see the opening picture and when I click on the play button, it takes me instantly to the end of the video. Anyone know what's up with this? Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted February 10, 2014 Super User Posted February 10, 2014 I never thought there was much difference in rain-wear until I bought Gore-tex. 1 Quote
BassAssassin726 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Let a little rain stop me? Hell no! I got lips to pierce! Quote
Christian M Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I caught my biggest fish in the rain! I keep my rain gear on my boat. I've read tons of articles about how the rain improves fishing because the fish let their guard down when it rains. They cant see or hear you as easily and they're more likely to go after your lure since they can't see it as well either. Either way the only thing that scares me off the water is lighting. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 10, 2014 Global Moderator Posted February 10, 2014 I love fishing in the rain, and I love that most other guys won't fish in the rain Quote
Pz3 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Cold rain kills me but for any of you that never have never used gortex before its awesome stuff. I learned all about this in the military Gortex is used in spacesuits too. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted February 10, 2014 Super User Posted February 10, 2014 One of my very best outings was in a torrential downpour. Offshore about 2 miles a squall comes up, winds pick up to about 40 mph, waves get very high and the rain was coming at us sideways, we couldn't come in. That's when the bite turned on, for maybe an hour or so, at all times we had sailfish and kingfish on. Squall blew over and the bite ended that fast. Quote
Mainebass1984 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I love fishing in the rain. I think it is a great time to catch big bass. All the power boaters and jet skiers are staying dry. Not as many guys are out fishing. the fishing is just better in my opinion. Usually up here in New England rain usually coincides with front passing through. Always a great time to fish. 1 Quote
AQUA VELVA Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I like the rain, it chase most everyone else off the water. Quote
BassnChris Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I like the rain, it chase most everyone else off the water. This is very true. Quote
Bruce424 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 As long as its warmer out. Rain never bothers me. Quote
DILLY07 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I love fishing in the rain. Especially during a hot day then it starts raining. I have heard good stuff about Goretex. I am currently prostaff with Gill. Amazing stuff. Not saying bad things about Goretex. Good material to. Quote
camovan Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Growing up, my grandfather always told me there were only two good times to fish. When it's raining and when it's not. 2 Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted February 11, 2014 Super User Posted February 11, 2014 I like the rainy days, for many of the reasons already stated. Fewer joyriders, jet skis, and yes, even fishermen. I think the rain makes such a commotion, beating on the surface of the water that it muffles all other sounds that might startle or disturb fish, making them wary, or send them scooting away. 1 Quote
Joe Schmuckatelli Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 If thats the same gortex they issued me in the service then it definitely works Quote
JaxBasser Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Fishing the heavy rains in the spring/summer is my favorite. I always seems to catch quality fish. Quote
WhiteMike1018 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I couldn't imagine fishing if it didnt rain. Some days I pray for rain. Quote
