farmerfishing Posted March 6 Posted March 6 On cloudy days I love a crankbait it takes some time but the bass gets crazy and just start striking it hard Quote
Skunkmaster-k Posted March 6 Posted March 6 A 3.5” Ripper swimbait is where I would start. Chartreuse pepper with a splash of red dip and dye. Thread that goodness onto a 1/4 oz ball head jig and watch the magic happen. Quote
Super User Swamp Girl Posted March 6 Super User Posted March 6 Welcome, @farmerfishing! I love cloudy days. I also love chartreuse. 2 Quote
Super User Mobasser Posted March 6 Super User Posted March 6 I fish really clear water. Cloudy and overcast days are my favourite. On cloudy days, the bass tend to move away from cover and roam around more. 8 Quote
jbmaine Posted March 6 Posted March 6 The more overcast the better. Chartreuse spinnerbait is the ticket for me. 2 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted March 6 Super User Posted March 6 Overcast w wind or current as some of us would say. Spinnerbaits, rattlebaits, squarebills or vibrating jigs.. in a 20 mph day with peaks of sun and warming water, a spinnerbait, no sun w rain, crank bait. or rattlebaits. That’s my style.. 2 Quote
Super User WRB Posted March 6 Super User Posted March 6 Overcast reduces depth of light allowing predators like bass to roam more. Bass have superior eye sight then their prey advantage bass. If the bass are active hunting they will chase lures take your pick. I prefer to use jigs in lieu of faster moving lures because reduced light allows crawdads to be more active and big bass eat crawdads. Tom 7 Quote
Super User Bird Posted March 6 Super User Posted March 6 I fish very clear water and overcast is much preferred. Steep shady banks can be fun on sunny days. 2 Quote
detroit1 Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Overcast and a possibility of rain helps keep the "pleasure" boaters off the lake. 🙂 4 Quote
Rucksack Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Overcast days are "spinner bait" days for me. My favorite color is white with two willow leaves. 3 Quote

It might ruin someone’s tan, but quite often the fishing is very good. With very few other bodies out there. Plus, you can leave the neds and drop shots and other finesse plastics at home. Grip it and rip it. 2 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted March 7 Super User Posted March 7 Overcast & Snow is a fan favorite here in the north woods. Best Time for the BJ's . . . Bladed Jig and Jerkbaits. A-Jay 4 Quote
MonsterZero Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Only thing better than an overcast day is an overcast day with fog. Quote
