rainy days

[n2b]

What are the best plastis to use when these days occur and where are the fish, like where do they move to.

rain has nothing to do with the fish. its the baramutic(SP?) pressure and the water temp changing. if its a cold front moving thru then the fish will go on a feeding frenzy right before it comes, then for the next few days you will need to fish slow. during the front you may still find a few fish eating, and a few not. basically during these time i find what the fish are doing. if they are still feeding, go with spinnerbaits, or jerkbaits(hard and soft) and other lures that will imitate the prey. and if they are not eating you are gunna really have to provoke them into a strike, and getting it in their strike zone which may be less then 3 feet. at this time, deadsticking worms, and all sorts of jigs will work. you will more then likely have to make numerous casts to one spot, and have a whole lotta patience. im not sure about warm fronts, maybe they will become more aggresive? usually there isnt to much rain to warm fronts, but thats just my experience with them. i think that cleared it up.

To clear up a little on what bf said, its called barometric pressure. As bf said, just before a front, the bass typically start feeding more and can easily be caught on faster moving baits like spinnerbaits and flukes worked quickly. THis is because just before the front/storm the barometric pressure typically drops, bringing the fish to the surface. During fronts moving through I've had some success on spinnerbaits and flukes still, just matters what the fishes attitude is. When the front is almost done rolling through and after its through, typically the bass are harder to catch. Normally they'll stick tighter to structure and cover and keep their mouths closed. When the pressure is high, the bass are deep. When the pressure is low, they're typically shallow. If its just rain and the eather has been stable and its not a front, it will ususally turn the fish on(especially here in fl with the hot days we've got) Anyways when this happens its spinnerbait and topwater time for me.

Here in oHIo I have never had anyluck fishing in the rain.
As stated before the barometric pressure is the key, but there has been many times lets say 8-12 hours before a storm hits and its really windy that I have had some of my best catches

I love to fish in the rain. You have to adjust your fishing a little bit ,because the fish move alot shallower and often they will suspend near the surface. A baby 1 minus or Bandit footloose is a great bait to use to locate the bass. I hope this helps. P N J
