Alright, let’s talk about catchin’ them bass after it rains, you know? I ain’t no fancy fisherman with all them highfalutin’ words, but I know a thing or two ’bout gettin’ them fish.
After the Rain, Fishin’ Ain’t the Same
See, when it pours, things change down in the water. Them smart fellas, the scientists, they say somethin’ ’bout the air pressure changin’ and that makes the bass act different. I don’t know ’bout all that, but I do know fishin’ after a rain ain’t the same as fishin’ on a sunny day. It can be real good, though, if you know what to do.
Lookin’ at the Water
First thing’s first, you gotta look at the water. Is it all muddy and stirred up? Or is it just a little cloudy? If it’s real muddy, them bass can’t see so good, so you gotta use somethin’ that makes noise or somethin’ they can see even in the dark water. I’m talkin’ ’bout lures that rattle or ones that are real dark, like purple or dark blue. Them fish can see them colors better when the water’s all murky.
- Muddy water? Use noisy lures or dark colors.
- Clear water? Well, you can use pretty much anything, but I like the shiny ones then.
What Kind of Bait to Use?
Now, talkin’ ’bout bait… that’s where it gets tricky. Some folks like to use them jig things, you know, the ones with the heavy heads? Them shaky head jigs and regular jigs work pretty good, especially after a rain. You can even put a little somethin’ extra on ’em, like a piece of worm or somethin’ that smells fishy. Them bass, they got good noses, you know.
And then there’s them other baits, the ones that look like little fish or bugs. Them can work too, especially if the water ain’t too muddy. Just gotta try different things and see what them bass are bitin’ on that day. Sometimes they like one thing, sometimes they like another. It’s all ’bout figurin’ ’em out.
Where to Find Them Bass After the Rain?
Alright, so you got your bait, now where do you go? Well, after a rain, them bass like to hang out in certain spots. They might be lookin’ for food that got washed in, or they might be tryin’ to find some cleaner water.
Think like a Bass
You gotta think like a bass, you see? Where would you go if you was a fish and it just rained? Maybe near some weeds or rocks, or maybe where a creek flows into the lake. Them are good spots to try. And don’t forget them drop-offs, you know, where the water gets deeper all of a sudden. Bass like to hang out there too.
Be Patient, and Keep Tryin’
Fishin’ after a rain ain’t always easy. Sometimes them bass just ain’t bitin’, no matter what you do. But that’s just fishin’. You gotta be patient, and you gotta keep tryin’. Don’t give up after an hour or two. Sometimes it takes a while to find ’em and figure out what they want. But when you finally hook into a big one, well, that’s what makes it all worth it, ain’t it?
Change is the Game
If one thing ain’t workin’, try somethin’ else. That’s the key to fishin’, rain or shine. Different colors, different sizes, different spots. Just keep changin’ things up till you find what works. And don’t be afraid to ask other folks what they’re doin’. Most fishermen are happy to share a tip or two, especially if you’re polite and don’t act like you know it all.
So there you have it. That’s my take on fishin’ for bass after it rains. It ain’t rocket science, but it ain’t always easy neither. Just gotta pay attention to the water, use the right bait, and keep tryin’ till you find ’em. And most importantly, have fun out there. That’s what fishin’s all about, right?
Remember, safety first too. Don’t go out fishin’ if it’s still lightnin’ or the weather’s real bad. Fishin’ ain’t worth gettin’ yourself hurt over. Be smart, be safe, and good luck catchin’ them bass.
And one last thing, keep your fishin’ spot clean. Don’t leave no trash around. We gotta take care of our lakes and rivers so we can keep on fishin’ for years to come.
