Anyone else enjoy fishing in the rain?

[wgilfus81]

Throw me in the group that likes fishing in the rain. Some of my best fishing excursions occurred in absolute downpours. The action seems to intensify greatly and for some odd reason it just gets me pumped. From a light sprinkle to rain so heavy you can barely see the water your fishing, nothing beats it! Now mind you, I fish mainly from the banks so that changes things a bit, its much easier to tolerate from shore as opposed to in a boat. Also the minute lighting or thunder enters the picture, Im out of there, Ill toe the line of sanity to stay out in the rain, but I wont compromise my safety by playing with water in an electrical storm

Nothing wrong with a little rain! alger's pic looks like me on sunday! Well, at least until the lightning started. That's the only time I won't be on the water! Bad mojo there!  ;D

Asked my brother if he made it out over the weekend and his response was "well I would have if it wasn't raining". So my come back to him was "don't worry, the bass are already wet"!

I love a warm summer rain to fish in.

However I did get stuck out in a pond once in a canoe with my brother. It was nice when we paddled out and then just started raining lightly. I though it would make great fishing. Next thing I know it's pouring so hard I can't see my brother in the front of the canoe. I actually lost direction on where we were. By the time we paddled to shore the canoe was over a quarter filled. One of the strangest weather changes I have ever experianced

In the heat of the summer,I enjoy fishing in a afternoon summer shower(just so there's no lightning).

Not going to hope for rain, but don't mind it if it happens, so long as there is no lightning.  I much prefer fishing in rain to fishing in wind.

[JerseyBassin]

I don't really WANT to fish in the rain, but the small lake I fish most of the time is loaded with other folks enjoying the nice weather fishing for crappie and catfish.(not in a boat)

I have had the best luck fishing in the mist, drizzle, sleet, and snow, because I am the only "fool" (at least some of the looks from the folks driving by) and have the lake to myself.

NO lightning or hail though.

I ain't skeerd of no rain!!

Put me down for likin the rain. Of course I don't descriminate, I fish in the rain, freezing cold, high winds, low winds, low water, high water, hot summer ( I will do it but I hate it), low gas prices, high gas prices, stock market up or down. Wife's birthday, anniversary, after dr.s appointment, while waiting for oil to be changed in the truck, on the way to work ( have had others riding in my car and made them wait while I chunked a few lures while traveling). I do avoid lightening if possible, usually wait too long and let it get too close.

Yea, I got it bad  ;D
