Alright, let’s talk about fishin’ after it rains, you know? I ain’t no fancy expert or nothin’, but I’ve been catchin’ fish for a good long while now, so I know a thing or two. When that rain comes down, things change, that’s for sure.
What happens after the rain? Well, the water gets all stirred up, like you took a big spoon and mixed it all around. That mud and stuff, it washes in from everywhere, makes the water all cloudy. And the fish, they get active, see? They like that cloudy water, makes it easier for them to hide and sneak up on their food.
- The water gets cloudy
- Fish get more active
- It’s a good time to catch ’em!
Now, some folks say fishin’ ain’t good right *during* the rain. Too much water, maybe? I don’t know, I ain’t never liked gettin’ soaked, so I usually wait it out. But right after? That’s the ticket. That’s when the bitin’ is good.
What kind of bait to use? Well, when the water’s all murky, you need somethin’ that makes some noise, you know? Somethin’ the fish can feel and hear. Those shiny, rattlin’ lures, they work good. The ones that spin and make a fuss? Yeah, those ones. And dark colored baits, too. Black, green, whatever. Somethin’ that stands out in that muddy water.
I like to use those plastic worms, too. The dark ones. The fish, they can’t see so good, so they feel around. And when they feel that worm, they think it’s somethin’ good to eat, and bam! You got ’em.
When is the best time to go after it rains? Well, early mornin’ is good, before the sun gets too high. Or late in the evenin’, when it’s startin’ to cool down. Fish like it when it ain’t too hot, see? Just like us, I guess.
Springtime is a real good time, too. Everything’s wakin’ up after the winter, and the fish, they’re hungry. They’re gettin’ ready to lay their eggs, so they’re eatin’ everything they can find. And that rain, it just makes ’em even more active.
Now, about those cold fronts. You know, when the weather changes real fast and it gets cold all of a sudden? That can make the fishin’ a little tricky. They don’t like that sudden cold, so they might go deep, try to find warmer water. You gotta be patient then, maybe try fishin’ a little deeper yourself.
But don’t let that scare you off. Most of the time, after a good rain, the fishin’ is just plain good. You just gotta find ’em, you know? Try different spots, different baits. Don’t give up too easy.
One more thing, don’t forget to check the regulations, you know? Make sure you ain’t keepin’ too many fish, or fish that are too small. We gotta take care of the fish, so there’s plenty for everyone. And be careful out there, especially if the water’s high and fast. Don’t want nobody gettin’ hurt.
So there you have it. That’s my two cents on fishin’ after the rain. Like I said, I ain’t no fancy expert, just an old lady who likes to catch fish. But I tell you what, there’s nothin’ like the feel of a fish tuggin’ on your line, especially after a good rain. It’s like a little gift from nature, you know? A little somethin’ special. So go on out there and give it a try. You might just catch yourself a big one.
And remember, the best way to learn is to just get out there and do it. Don’t be afraid to experiment, try new things. And most importantly, have fun. That’s what it’s all about, ain’t it?
Final word, ain’t no guarantee you gonna catch a fish, rain or no rain. That’s just fishin’. But if you pay attention to the water, and try different things, you’ll up your chances. And that’s all you can do.
