Never fails. Any time I get some new gear it rains, or storms. Had my Curados for a few days now, and finally my weekend off arrives....and storms are littering my state right now. Tomorrow? Same deal, and Sunday I've got a ton to do so a no go there too. Looking at these Curados is torture. 

Lol!!! Hang tuff- you're due for a break after all that waiting on the leftys!!

You gonna melt? If there's no lightning, go for it!

Can't put a like on your post. That is terrible. You have the same weather system going on that we have here in Cincinnati. Doesn't affect me simply because I am retired, so I do most of my fishing during the week. So, you have my sympathy and I know that doesn't help a bit. Hang in there buddy, it can't rain every weekend,..can it. Let's hope not.

Rain gear?

It's summer in the south there is always a chance of rain. Strap on a pair and go fishing.

Yup.  Best day we (brother-in-law and I) had in Florida a couple years ago was in the rain.  Of course when lightning is in the air I'm outta there!

No doubt, I fish in the rain all the time. I do have this weird thought (fantasy?) that I am going to die from a lightning strike someday. That usually sways my thought process.

Rain gear?

Rain I don't mind, but lightning deters me every time. Plus its about 93 here so rain gear in that heat for me isn't real inviting.

same here man im in MS its been raining quite a bit lately. high is 97 next wednesday also

I don't mind getting wet, it's when the wind starts REALLY howling that sucks. Just go fish man!! 

Always happens man. Everytime i get some goodies in and want to test them out its either pouring or 30mph winds !! lol

I'm fishing with my Curado and Ci4 tomorrow if that helps!

Howling wind is just a breeze here in KS. Hard to find a day during the summer when it's not gusting over 30-40mph.

It pored down today in my area and I went out.  Let's just say, it was no fun.  I caught only one fish in 6 hours.  My equipment did not enjoy it either.  I have fished in the rain many times and today had to be one of the worst.  We had heavy rain for about 3 hours followed by swirling winds.  It did eventually slow down but nothing was biting.  I tried everything not even a nimble.  The one I did catch I could have used for bait.

 

One highlight of the day was I got to use my Marmot Oracle rain jacket and my gortex pants.  Both worked like a champ.  The Marmot jacket was amazing in the rain, breathable and I did stay bone dry.  I did get hot but it was not to bad.  

Rain and wind are manageable, but it makes re rigging a PITA and here we always seem to have lighting. No fun holding a graphite rod on an aluminum boat.

Not to mention trying brand new reels that are questionable to begin with, using in rain only complicates the overall analysis
