We are getting a nice slow soaker of a rain for most of Sat afternoon. Reminds me when we fished from my Fathers cruiser. It was called an express cruiser so a hardtop covered half of the rear deck. Several could fish from under that and we never passed up an opportunity to fish in the rain - unless there was lightening. Several of us used steel rods. It seems the fish got turned on with the rain. Anybody else fish in the rain ?

Do You Like To Fish In The Rain ?

Brings back many happy memories growing up on a farm. We worked hard except when it rained too hard to get in the field. That was the kind of day my brothers and I looked forward to. We would grab our rods and head for the Missouri river and we'd stay as long as it rained. I agree with you that the fish seem to bite well in the rain. We each kept a five gallon bucket for our catch and we usually filled them with crappie, catfish, walleyes, bass, and northern pike. Our family always looked forward to the fish feast after good rain.

It's been many years, but "Yes!"! I love fishing in the rain!
I think barometric pressure is a key part.
There was a farm pond about 200 yards behind the house.
I did a whole lot of "catch & release".
Why mess up a fun time fishing by having to quit early to clean fish! LOL!
A time or two, I've had a light rain hit during the crappie bite. I couldn't tell the bite picked up any, but it sure didn't slow it down.Last edited by FirstBubba; 08-01-2020, 07:57 PM.

A light rain yes, not wild about getting caught in a downpour. We actually did get drizzled on tonight.
We’re a bit out of our element, haven’t even taken the canoe off the truck and are leaving tomorrow. Little more water than what we’re used to.1 Photo

We hit them big one morning when the sun was very low and we found them in 10' of water feeding. Almost every cast was a nice fish. We got our limit in about an hour.
Here I am in 40' and the fish are down 20', probably where the thermocline is.

Overcast skies and a light rain is my favorite fishing weather. I do like my wet-wading summertime stream fishing on hot sunny days, but they're never all that great for fishing, least not until evening time.
One time on a Lake Ontario charter trip, there were thunderstorms rolling through. There were ten of us on two boats, Seaweed Charters and the Flying Dutchman out of Mexico Bay. We were right near a couple of sheltered coves, and the captains did a great job zipping us in to take cover when needed, then getting us right back out on the water. Lots of fish that day, four or five over twenty pounds, most of the kings and lakers in the 15-18 pound range.
