Big Berg Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hey guys This sounds like a dumb question but how is the fishing in the rain? The reason I ask is because we hired a beach house down south for the weekend and I was planning to get the line wet but the forecast is rain all weekend. Does the beach fishing slow down or stop when it rains or just after it has rained? Cheers Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel944 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have had some of my best fishing just before and during storms. Dosnt seem to matter how you are fishing either. The fish come on the bite when the weather turns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Fish don't mind as they are already wet. But they do feed with pressure changes and also with the rain washing feed out to sea. They can also come in closer to feed under cover of the grey cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bream111 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 The best part about fishing in the rain is most softies are sitting at home and you have more choices. You are not fighting to get onto your favourite spot. Having said that when you have wind and rain it ain't much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I like fishing in the rain. Less people around to annoy me. Just be careful when there's lightning around. They make some lightning rods out of graphite because it's a good conductor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
