Anyone else enjoy fishing in the rain?

[hawgchaser]

Don't get me wrong, I love those beautuful sunny days but there is something about fishing in a rain that I actually enjoy. I went out this morning and hammered the bass on some *** and Yum Dingers. Yesterday they were on a spinnerbait but today it was all stick baits.

Anyway, it was calm but a pretty decent rain. I had the place to myself and man was it relaxing. Caught about 20 bass and a nice 4 pounder. Does anyone else like to fish in the rain or am i the only moron on this site?

Not me. I will fish in the rain, but it's not something I wish for.

Slipper decks can hurt and slick rod handles can be expensive.   :

I can't say I enjoy it, however I did have one of my best days of the season last Friday. There was a steady rain, and the LMB were tearing-up my Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow (clown). It was a banner day.

Add me to the ones that likes the rain.  Let me clarify, just a steady rain with no wind, you add a steady good wind to the mix and I will stay in the house and fish on the Wii.

Give me a warm summer rain and I will be out in it 9 out of 10 times as long as there is no lightning.

ABSOLUTELY!!!

All Team LBH members are Foul weather fisherman.  When most say "NO", we say "GO"!!!

I love fishing in the rain it almost like intensifies it. I get pumped to fish in the rain.

Count me in, from Drizzle to Deluge. Hard core, any weather condition except lightning, considering the electrical conductivity of graphite. Some of my best fish came during the rain.

In addition, if I didn't like fishing in the rain, I wouldn't be living in Seattle (Contrary to popular perception, Seattle does not get the most rainfall in the country. But we do get a lot of it in greater concentrations thus giving us the perception of a lot of rain).

i also love fishing in the rain.  had some of my best days ever in the rain. dont like the lightning though. ;D

I would much rather fish in the rain than a cloud free scorcher. I think the rain is very relaxing. As long as there isn't too much wind. When I go fishing I really don't care if it pours thats why there is GORE-TEX.

Fish don't get no wetter, but have been around too much lightening and it's not a good time. Turns your hair white and in my case, makes it fall out too.

my favorite and some of my best fishing trips have been in the rain i love it. topwater, spinnerbait or senko and its money. my first spinnerbait fish was caught in the rain. it was pouring fishing this ultra clear lake threw by this laydown and there he was.

Actually, I love downpouring rain, whitecaps, wind, and all the above! Why some may ask? Simple, I kill em' slow rollin spinnerbaits.  Whatever puts fish in the boat keeps me afloat!

I like fishing in the rain as well, Fish seem to bite better in foul better.

[Rob.Atl]

I like fishing in the rain over anything else especially like a mist rain with like a haze on a warmish day its awesome

[Big-O]

When it's raining real hard and the winds blowing a gale force, most of us old guys tell you young guns, Go Gett'em! But when it clears off a bit and we've been sitting around drinking coffee and eating donuts, we say "We'll Gett'em". We're not lazy, I just don't think we're as mad at the fish as we use to be.    ;D

LBH took the words right out of my mouth!! A warm rain and the fish are a bitten' - don't get any better than that, IMO:o)

[BassinDave]

I don't look forward to it but some of my more successful trips were during a rain storm.

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

Only thing better than that is when there is a fall bite going on and it's snowing.  Others say "NO", we say "GO"

[hawgchaser]

Now I am not talking about fishing in a storm! But I love a nice spring rain. Had it this morning and they were all over the stick baits. I was acting like a dang kid! 2 new rods, 25 new stick baits, and the bass were hammering them. What else could a man want?

[Hawg Fan]

Hey Hawg Chaser, I live in Jacksonville and went out this morning. You are right, fishing in the rain is very relaxing. I was the only one out on the community lake this morning, like you said..all to myself. It wasnt only relaxing but the bite was fair as well on jigs and senkos. I was just glad it wasnt pouring like it has been the past few weeks  

[Gatorbassman]

I spent all the money on Gore-Tex and fleece so I'm going. I'll fish in any weather so long as there is no lightning. I don't care if it's cold or frozen rain. I've been known to break the ice at the end of the boat ramp so I could put the boat in. If there is a small craft advisory I might reconsider but it better be a hurricane.

[burleytog]

I've got $600 worth of rain gear, but I hate to get my boat wet.  :-/

[Big-O]

What we need to talk about is the worst storm that any of has ever been in on the water. Now boy's, have I got some stories to tell ya! But I want to be sitting by a campfire to tell'em cause I'll start trembling just at the thought.
