Is the fishing better in the rain?

Used to catch a ton of nice trout in western ma. rivers and streams in the rain

Yes ,, If your there when a front is just coming in .. Small craft advisory warnings means,, get to the shore where you know they'll be some good surf,wind,chop .. Second day NO,, fishing is off and water is dirty .. a silty,,weedy,, mess.. Have experienced a number of multiple big fish days in horrible weather .

I love when a front rolls in during the fall, defidently turns on the fishing, no question.

Some of the best days I have ever had were raining to bat the band!

There'a a pic in the surf assylum contest I put up but I can seem to move it here.
There's 2 bass that i kept 33 an 34 lbs.
That day was amazing it started late afternoon like 4 pm with a few fish.then the storm came the water got big it really poured, lightning,the whole nine yards.It started with like 5 guys out there an they kept comin all thru the storm.There was atleast 30 men on the jetty when i left. the bass had the bait pinned an would not stop a good 4-5 hrs i had to leave for a graduation party.I would guess that day alone I had 10 bass over 30 lbs.to the high 30's.It was a club tournament against the other rival clubs in the area.It was pretty crowded.I kept looking to see if anyone was leaving during the lightning ,no one left.I am really amazed no one got killed as we had lightning for a good hr.It would have been a big fishfry with the better part of 2 clubs down for the count.I have other fall spots just light up in a storm the bigger the better.40 MPH winds.driving rain.tongen em every cast good fish 20lb range.In last yrs slow fall after the ten day n-easter it was one of my best night when I followed my instincts on a stormy night.Without a question in all my yr's of fishing a oncoming front has told me to go fishing.even during the storm.Fish don't mind they are already wet.After a storm no good, high pressure blue bird sky's the first day of a clear out again,NG.

Mike-

Last night between 8:45 and 12:15. 20-25 wind squalls, torrential downpour (4 inches in 2 hours) frequent dangerous lightning, and pea sized hail- three swordies-(100,155, and 180#) all on stand-up 50's. I'm not sure it was worth it.
