kms399 Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 so I have a trip planned thursday through sunday and I just checked the extended forcast, not looking good for a 4 day trip in the bwcaw as far as weather but how do you think it will affect the fishing here is the forcast Monday...Increasing clouds. Areas of fog and patchy frost in the morning. Highs 68 to 73. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph. Tuesday...Cloudy with a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs 67 to 72. South winds 5 to 10 mph. Wednesday...Partly sunny with a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs 65 to 70. Thursday...Mostly cloudy with a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs 70 to 75. Lows 50 to 55. Friday...Mostly cloudy with a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs 70 to 75. Lows 50 to 55. Saturday...Cloudy with a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows 50 to 55. Highs 70 to 75. Sunday...Mostly cloudy with a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms.

frogtog Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Hit the water, it doesn't get any better than fishing in the rain. Of course if it's lightning then stay inside. Quote
Super User Sam Posted June 7, 2010 Super User Posted June 7, 2010 Stay off the water if lightning is in the forecast and... 1. Organize your baits. 2. Watch DVDs on bass fishing. 3. Read books and magazines on bass fishing. 4. Re-spool all reels. We want you around for many more years and not fishing in bad weather will help our wish to come true. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted June 7, 2010 Super User Posted June 7, 2010 Hit the water, it doesn't get any better than fishing in the rain. Of course if it's lightning then stay inside. Sounds like a great week to be fishing. Mild temps, a little rain, low light conditions-it's all good. Chatterbaits and spinnerbaits, frogs, buzzbaits and other noisy topwater baits would be my first choices. If you get a lot of rain, it might cool and muddy the water, slowing things down. Jigs/plastics tight to cover, or worked on deep structure would then be my choice. Enjoy. 8-) As the other guys have said: Stay off the water during the storms. I haven't always followed this advice. I may not be any smarter than I used to be, but I am more careful. Quote
NateFollmer Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Meh, they say it's going to storm here in PA about every day and it usually doesn't. As long as there is no lightning, I'd go fishing. My favorite time to fish is right before it starts raining and if your lucky, right after (if there is a fog or mist coming off the water). If it's a cold rain, downsize and slowdown. Quote
Super User Catt Posted June 7, 2010 Super User Posted June 7, 2010 Stable weather is not necessarily blue bird skies, it is in your case chance of t-storms 6 days in a row. Ideally for me would be Wednesday/Thursday or Thursday/Friday Quote
timothy_spain Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 i've had some bad outting on heavy rain fall, but if it's light rain and no lightening ... GO FOR IT Quote
Crappiebasser Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 I'd kill for high of 75 and overcast days. It'll be 90 during our tourney Saturday with 100% humidity. I say go for it. Quote
Mr.Sheephead Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 here in MN its been just wet and gloomy this whole past week and i had wedsday and thursday to fish and those 2 days were windy cold and a bit wet but thursday was a bit better both days i landed like 3-5 bass in like 3-4 hours of fishing its challenging but dont give up confidence i soon realized on thursday my lost of confidence in a new pond i tried out was affecting my fishing so i just kept thinking about how to trigger them and how to work the lure to make them bite and i kept saying there is bass here and sure enough i landed a few and a trophy bass that snaped my line! just try to think what the bass want and dont lose confidence in yourself let that pro inside you come out and show you how to fish!
