C0lt Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Found myself out in the rain today exploring some new potential spots. Didn't have a single bite at any of the three ponds I went to today. Im trying to figure out if theyre just crummy spots, or if the rain had anything to do with it. Any thoughts or experiences with fishing in the rain? Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted July 4, 2014 Super User Posted July 4, 2014 I have had some of my better numbers days in the rain, also in march rainy cold caught them bigger girls then.... I have also busted a gooseegg to on rain days. 1 Quote
tatertester Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 I luv fishing in the rain and think that fish are far less spooky also....I like a noisier faster moving lure in the rain to get their attention from the rain. Quote
Mainebass1984 Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Id rather fish in the rain then any other weather. I think that the likely hood of catching a bigger bass increases. 1 Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted July 5, 2014 Super User Posted July 5, 2014 Love rainy days....especially when not windy Quote
Mccallister25 Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Sometimes rain is your friend. Some of my bigger fish have come on rainy days. Quote
(='_'=) Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 same here.... rainy days and a white spinnerbait have almost always produced good numbers... Quote
Josh Smith Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Well, guys, I never had any luck in the rain. Never tried much, but I'll do so next time it rains using some tips here. Thanks! Josh Quote
Super User FishTank Posted July 6, 2014 Super User Posted July 6, 2014 If it has rained for a few days in a row I usually will not catch much of anything but if a light rain hits with no wind, I love it. My favorite is to break out some topwater lures. I usually get some big hits. Quote
ATX Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 I love the rain but hate the lightning. I got stuck in a bad storm on Toledo Bend and it felt like the bolts were chasing my boat! The fish were biting good but not good enough to die for. Quote
Vaporwave Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Fished in the rain today aswell and caught my first bass from a topwater lure. Was using a heddon torpedo. Was not a bad day actually caught 3 smallies and that first one was not a bad size. Fishing in the rain is win man Quote
bassman201 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 go for it. i love fishing in the rain. topwater is ther way to go in the rain. Quote
Super User Catt Posted July 7, 2014 Super User Posted July 7, 2014 Fish do not mind getting wet Down here on the gulf coast there is a 20-40% chance of scattered rain every day. A slicker suit is part of our perminate tackle! Quote
einscodek Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 In the rain, I feel I no longer need to move like a prowler Quote
Mainebass1984 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 I have no idea why more people don't fish in the rain. Usually it is pretty good fishing for bigger fish. I was out fishing yesterday and it rained for awhile. Most people left the lake. I did not and I am glad I didn't. 1 Quote
Super User senile1 Posted July 8, 2014 Super User Posted July 8, 2014 Nice fish, Mainebass1984! One can't argue with that. Quote
