Fishing in the rain?
I have a chance to go to SD for work and fish the bay and LJ the next morning however its finally going to rain in SoCal the days I'll be down there next Tues/Wed. I've never fished in the rain so gut feeling not to bother but what have you guys experienced if ever fishing those locations in rain. Not the end of the world if I don't go either lol.

Rain is no big deal as long as you dress for it. As always, keep your head on a swivel as visibility will be diminished.
But if Lightening starts up, stow yer rods and head for shore. Don't need a wet stick of graphite sticking up higher than anything else around you to draw a lightening strike. As for the fishing, my catch rate is hampered more by other factors than rain. |

It's not bad in a light rain with little wind, kind of cool actually. Not so great in a down pour.
Just make sure the wind and surf aren't acting up and there's no lightening going off.

As previously mentioned, rain isn't a problem as long as you are dressed accordingly and don't mind it.
I've had some great days fishing in the rain, but I wouldn't attribute it to the rain. Lightning is a problem, so check the forecast beforehand and if you see it while your out there, don't stay out! |

Had one of my best calico days on a rainy day. The rain doesn't make much of a difference, downpour or not. Its the winds and higher swell usually associated with those rains that suck. Other than that if winds are still forecast to be flat I'd be out fishing in my waterproof jacket with a hot tea.

There is a reason why bites are typically good+ when the rain is actively falling. It's a great cover for active fish.
+1000 on caution on/when there is lightning in the area. Shit is nothing to mess with.... ![]() ![]() |
