Rainy weekend

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Rainy weekend

Post by fordson »

What do you fellas think? Will the fish be active this weekend with rainy cool weather coming in.
My suspicion is no...if it was summer then kapow! The bite would be on but early and the water is still in the low to mid 50s I'm thinking the fish will be even more lethargic. :cry:

Anybody have a counter argument? I could use some confidence building before the big trip on Sunday. :wink:

Just want to talk fishing...

Theres only two good times to fish, when its raining and when its not! :lol:
To be honest im expecting the bite to be slow however I have been fooled before....2 days of walleye fishing followed by some carp fishing...somethings gotta bite!

The bite may be slow but I have caught some of my largest fish right before a storm starts....It's the wind I don't like :evil:

Brookies, pike and walleye this weekend for me. If not active will have to mix things up a bit to get them to bite, that's all.

Good luck everyone getting out :!:

I'm headin up North for 5 days in 1hr to hunt down some Lakers and Eyes....catchin' fish would be great but just the fact of gettin' out with the boyzzzzz after a long winter is what it's all about!! :D :D :D :D

P.S........at least we won't have to worry about the beer gettin' too warm this weekend :wink:

HAVE A GOOD ONE ALL!!!! 8)

I'm going by this theory: runoff is warmed by the earth, so the water is warmer where streams feed the lake.

I know where I'm going this weekend!! :D

Depends, warm rain will likely turn the fish on, as this can raise surface temps considerably.

Raining or not the fish will eat, just gotta figure out what to feed em :wink:

I've had some great days for early season lakers in the rain & wind. Did not like the conditions...but did like the success.
Monday for walleye @ Cardinal.
