If you're going to buy a boat, a trailer, a truck, gas, rods, reels, line, and a tackle box stocked better than your refrigerator...
YOU MIGHT AS WELL FISH.

Don't let a little rain keep you away!

Wife thinks I'm nuts for fishing or even hunting in the rain.

Love fishing in the rain. It's usually just you out there. Very peaceful, relaxing. Especially if it's mid summer nice and warm. To me this is when the real fishing begins. Especially if it's a heavy passing storm. I've caught my biggest fish as soon as that cool summer rain comes down for 20-30 mins onto a really warm water. Seems like it's crack for fish. (Saying that reminds me The King of The Hill Episode lol)

Fished in the rain today and had my best day of the year so far. It's my favorite time to fish.

I've caught some of my biggest fish in the rain or on overcast days!

As I was reading this post I thought to myself... This guy HAS to be in Florida, fishing in the rain in April. I can't say much, though. Most of last week was in the 80s for us!

I also enjoy fishing in the rain. The bass are already wet, right?

Rain? pfft. We fished through downpours, lightning, and HAIL at Table rock last Thursday, steadily catching fish the whole time BPS 100mph suits and we were dry as a bone when the sun came back out. 

Fishing in the rain is good.  People that don't have rain suits clear off the lake.

Only downside is it takes a little longer to clean boat.....big deal

Fishing in the rain is awesome. It also chases all the jet skies and power boats off the lake.

Unless you have a dirty aluminum like I do, then it just washes it off 

That is what Rain Gear is for..

Rain or not, if there's fish to catch I'm going to do it! ....or at least try. Haha

I fish in the rain A LOT. Which is one reason my next boat will not have any carpet or wood.

I don't mind fishing in the rain. THe problem is, at least around here, is that rain is usually accompanied by lightning, gusty winds and sometimes hail. I won't fish in a thunderstorm.

The fewer people the better so anything that can send most other people packing I am down with!  

 So the general thinking is that during spring/summer, when it it warm/hot out, when it rains that cools the top water off and the bass will come up to the top water to cool off.  Correct?  

I hate fishing in the rain...hate it! However i usually do well in the rain and didnt drop the coin on the BPS 100mph suit for nothin! Lol

I especially like throwing a LC sammy in the rain

Once I hear thunder I'm gone.  Although in Florida you can still get struck even if you never hear thunder.  The fishing is good but in Florida, it is risky.

If it starts raining and it's warm out, I immediately head to my neighbor's pond, the creek flowing in pushes out a lot of current and the fish just stack up right there. If there is any electricity accompanying the rain, I stay indoors. It's not worth it...

Rain or shine I'm out there, only thing holding me back is the lighting

yea living in the lightning capital forget that. I never fished tstorms in Florida.

Real men do that in their skives while smoking a cigar, haha. I wonder if they make 100mph speedos?

The rain was a little cold for anything less than what we had on and no way you could have kept a cigar lit in the downpour we fished through. 

 

As for the last one you'll just have to keep wondering, I'm not Googling it 

had my best tourney last year in the rain....a night tourney 8pm to 8am.....

 

at last year's Roadtrip me and Swabby fished in a deluge...and crossing back to the dock....was pretty gnarly...it was high seas and i sure was glad i had Swabby as my pilot...   but we caught fish..
