Do u guys think it is better to fish after it rains or before it rains? And why?

before the rain because the pressure is dropping and the insects become more active witch makes the bass more active while they try to get them.but after the rain is also a great time to along with during the rain as long as it isnt pouring

I tend to catch alot of small ones before it rains, but when it starts raining, I think you catch more quality fish. (Not as many though.)

I've caught well before, during, & after  

During late winter, early spring, & fall fishing is better before a front because of falling barometric pressure.

During summer we don't experience many fronts but heat thunder showers cool water temperatures moving bass out of thick cover.

I've had the best luck right before a storm front.  During an extended storm front I beat my personal best in back to back days.  The only problem is that I've pushed my luck too many times and got caught in an awful lighting storm last year.  I had to ride it out in my jon boat under a bridge.  The bridge was a crappy golf course bridge and I swear that lightning hit the bridge twice.  Nice electrical crackling the length of the bridge with plenty of sound to boot.  No fun.  I really thought I was going to die that day.  Water from the bridge kept pouring in my little boat and I ended up with about 8 in of water in the front of the boat.  Good news is that I decided not to bring the kids with me that day!!

I usually catch more fish before a storm.  I believe fish can be caught at any time if the proper technique is used.

Makes no never mind to the bass, they is always wet.  ;D

Before, during and after.

But if I had to put them in order it would still be before, during and after.

1. Before- dense cloud cover that moves fish out from their hiding spots to roam the shallows looking for bait and food, most fish become generally active before the rain.

During- A great time to fish (for me anyways) but some people worry about getting wet. I love fishing during the rain.

After- After is really neutral. The only thing you have to be careful of is runoff that stains the water and makes it terribly muddy. When this happens bass visibility is limited and makes the strike zone a lot smaller, calling for accurate casts and lures with a lot of noise and vibration. If a bass cant see a lure, theres no chance you can catch him/her
