    Fishing in a Storm

    SO my buddies and I are heading out to the coast next week to do some fishing, however looks like there will be scattered showers by Corpus on one of the days. Is fishing in a little drizzle good or bad? And also I know storms make the pressure fluctuate, is that helpful for fishing? Looking forward to hear what y'all have to say.

    Fish bite good in a rain when a front blows through, not sure about when it comes from the other direction.

          While in Destin this year we fished almost everyday in scattered showers, and the fish were biting the whole time!

            As long as there is no lightening, the fish are already wet. If you're there to fish, go fish.

              Boat fishing? Water is supposed to be real rough.

                Could you catch some? Sure, you probably could find something to bite. But if you were planning on going down there just to fish, I'd reschedule for a different weekend, surf is supposed to be extremely rough, winds will be up, tides will be up, just an all around bad weekend to be fishing.

                      STRONG ADVICE: If there's lightening ANYWHERE close enough you can hear thunder, GET OFF THE WATER IMMEDIATELY!! Get away from the beach/shore... I know folks who got caught in thunderstorms, quit fishing and made a run for it in the boat to get off the water. Lightening hit (not sure exactly what), but the guy driving the boat got lit up bad. He was holding the stainless steel steering wheel and it lit him up, burned his hands really bad and stopped his heart. He survived, and still fishes today, but his boat has a plastic steering wheel AND one gray/dark cloud and he's off the water LONG before he hears thunder...

                        I'll fish in the rain all day long, I've caught a ton of fish in the rain. First bolt down though and I'm gone..

                          Fish do bite when it's raining.

                          With that said, don't mess with mother nature. Thunderstorms on the coast can be down right nasty. I'm talking, kicking up 40 plus knot winds with little to no advanced warning. Not to mention lightening. If you are on a boat, you are the highest point above water. Holding a 7' graphite rod doesn't help that either.

                          Be careful and be aware of the situation.

                            Solid advice.
