[faulked]

do you guys fish in the rain what do you think it does to the fish with light rain that we have currently?:S

[Terry H]

I don't mind fishing in the rain. Doesn't appear to affect the fish in any negative way

[STU]

I would rather a bit of rain than lots of wind

[Dazzamcgee]

I'll second that STU !!

Getting abit of heavy dew up here aswell..

[Cowfish13]

I rekon that any rain puts the fish off. We never really get any thing during the rain, but the crabs are good.

If fishing in rivers or dams look for run off's the fish will be where the fresh water runs in with the food it flush's from the shore same goes around islands in the bay

rain is a great time to fish

I always find at Moreton the squid come out when it's bad weather. When its a sunny, calm day, the squid will be hard to find.

Caught some of my best fish in the rain and rough conditions, But to each there own, the fish are already wet aernt they, its up to us if we feel like getting wet and making the extra effort, When the wind is blowong and stirring up the bottom i find it is like a ready made berley trail in some areas and the fish are already on the chew.

I have seen the bass fire up in the rain. I also think you have to be less stealth as they are hardly going to hear the lure land when its beating down anyway.

hmm.. personally i prefer to avoid the rain unless it's only a slight drizzle. lightning is the main deterrent! graphite rods are probably the best conductors!

plus, getting soaked is not fun either, and having your clothes stick to you makes it quite uncomfortable as well.

Rain = Fish.....

Provides cover for the big boys to come out and play.......

I've caught some great fish in some of the worst conditions I guess you get blessed for putting in the extra effort...

A keen angler decides he's going fishing so at 4 am he climbs outta bed makes his themous get's all his gear loaded into his boat ready to go fishin when he opens the garage door he is greated by howlin wind and rain so he decides on a change of plan and unpacks all he's gear sneaks back into the bedroom strips off and climbs back into bed snuggling up to his misses he says you would not believe how bad the weather is out there to which she replies and to think my Dumb ass husband is fishing in it :pinch:

mmm for sharking in the upper Brisbane River, my experiance is if a heavy downpour follows a stretch of fine weather, the sharks go completely off the chew.

I think this makes sense too in that bullies can only adapt to a particular salinity in the upper reaches gradually. After fine weather the upper reaches get reasonably salty and if it suddenly pours, its freshens up very fast. I figure the sharks head straight down the river to more salty water, if that makes sense...

Anyways its just an observation of mine and probs wrong:silly:

i think it sounds pretty good to me. scientific inference= mostly logic

rainy days are good for chasing tuna in the bay you can get a lot closer to them
