"When the cows are laying down, fishing is better."

Why:

cows have the instinct to predict a storm. (just like dogs, cats, ext.)

cows have the instinct to lie down before and during the storm for selter.

fish bite better right before a storm.

so, chances are, if you see a bunch of cows laying down for no reason, and it is a little cloudy, the fish probaly are bite'n.

anyone else have some ol' words of wisdom?

I like "Trees in bloom, crappies loom"

"Wind form the East, fish bite the least; wind from the West, fish bite the best."

liqour before beer, have no fear, beer before liqour, never be sicker... oh, no, wait,....

Slow it down and go to town

Long cast gets the bass

never let you down,..the greens, the blacks, the browns

Hooksets are free

Always a jig on a rig

Big turtles=fish

Every fish tells you somthing, even the ones you aren't catching

Can't catch 'em from the couch

Dolphin=Tuna

shade=mahi mahi

Follow the birds

Grass = Bass

When in doubt set the hook.

 Get-R-Done

crap!!!!!!!!!!           when i miss a fish

A famous once said .... Can't catch 'em from the couch  ;D

Early to bed, early to rise, fish like he@@ and make up lies ;D

Any fish that's lost immediately doubles in size.

I want to catch fish so big, even I don't have to lie about them.

I like fishin', but I like catchin' more!

"Wind form the East, fish bite the least; wind from the West, fish bite the best."

Wind from the North, fishermen don't go forth. Wind from the South, blows the bait in the fishes mouth.

"When yer fishing a log, yer fishing for a hawg." and the ever popular "Shut up and fish!" ;D

A fisherman is a jerk on one end of the line waiting for a jerk on the other.

A reel expert can tackle anything.

There is no such thing as too much equipment.

Fishing isn't a matter of life and death....

It's much more important.

Give a man a fish

And he will eat for a day...

Teach a man to fish

And he will sit in a boat

And drink beer all day...

Men and fish are alike....

They both get into trouble when they open their mouths.

Old fisherman never die, they just smell that way!

There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot !

To fish or not to fish...

NOT TO FISH ??

Yea...like that's even an option !

A man and his boat do not need to be justified

Early to bed early to rise-fish all day and make up lies

If fishing is wrong, I don't want to be right

Big fish are just like women they'll take you hook, line, and sinker

I got this boat for my wife GOOD TRADE!

In a boat is the place I want to be,

always fishing is the life for me

I live with fear everyday, but sometimes she let's me go fishing

I fish therefore I lie

I'm itchin to go fishin!

For those times when I'm not catching anything:

It's still beats working or mowning the lawn

a bad day fishing is better than a good day of work.

(my motto)

PondHopper, i agree with you. i always thought the if the cows were standing up feeding, they would bite better? :-/ so which one is correct?

"We've all heard that cows will lie down before an incoming storm, but there is a science to cow pasture predictions you might not be aware of. According to farmer and weather forecaster Gertrude Nimbus of Philadelphia, PA, cows not only lie down before storms but they lie down in specified numbers. If four out of 20 cows are lying down, after doing some quick math"

Cows also lie down to chew their cud...not just because it may rain.

if you aint gettin hung up your not goin were the fish are

KenDammit28, my question is how do the cows keep track of who's turn it is to lie down. Cows aren't really that smart you know, they could get confused and throw the whole weather pattern off :

The one I'm tired of hearing:  "Shoulda been here last week"

My favorite:  Didn't catch many but the ones we did were real small.

The one I have heard  and tell people whaen they complain about not catching anything:

" Its called fishin...not catchin!!!!

Mother Natures natural order, i guess.  If an old timer says it.and its repeated by many other old timers..then I'm inclined to believe its true.  I've read things on the internet about people predicting rain by how many cows are laying down and are hardly ever wrong.  The rest of that little snippet talked about how if the 4 cows out of 20 are laying down, then its a 20% chance of rain.  If 30 cows out of 100 laid down, then it'd be a 30% chance.  It doesn't matter which ones lay down, so long as a certain number are laying.
