Reaction bite vanished!

[TriStateBassin106]

Had a pretty good time fishing yesterday at my local spot here in NJ, it was humid and party cloudy but the chatterbait bite was on when I first arrived, managed to get three in 15 minutes before some "threatening" clouds moved in, once the clouds came over the bite died off for everything, anybody know why? I thought pre thunderstorms were great times to fish? It didn't even start raining until after I left three hours later. Temps were 90 degrees with 54% humidity and a slight breeze from the SW.

Only the fish truly know why, the rest is merely speculation

2 of the previous trips I've gone have been overcast with some wind and even some rain, zero moving bait bite at all. Thursday it was mid 90s, dead calm, sunny, and they ate the paint off my bladed jig.

 

Like I've said, fish can't read the rules we try to write for them. Just because they should be doing something doesn't mean they will be, have to be willing to adapt with them.

In all likelihood, your 3 back-to-back bass were the product of prefrontal conditions.
