Fish will feed just before a low pressure system (storm) hits. The lower pressure is more comfortable to fish than high pressure. You could look at this as the high pressure and the pressure of water pushes more against the fishes body, meaning discomfort and maybe even a full belly feeling. Low pressure = less pressure against the fishes body, comfort and an empty feeling belly = fish will seek out food and are more willing to chase prey. The actuall storms will shut down feeding as lightning flashes and thunder will send the fish deep and looking for safety. Right after a storm is a great time to fish as the runoff carries insect, frogs and other small prey, bringing the fish closer to the surface, banks and inflows to lakes and rivers. Hope this helps!

Cgull is correct with everything he said. The fish also seek sheltered waters before a storm hits. So after the storm, you can see where the sheltered waters were and that is where to fish. I worked for Lew Childre back in the seventies, and he would fly to where a hurricane or any major storm was just to fish the after part.

then lets hit it up brad!!

Good call, Hunt-fish-live. In the rain, you have less people out to bother you. I do not like it when I catch one fish and someone sees me do it then moves over on top of me. I love to troll slowly through a school of specs, and if someone sees me catch one, they will pull up and anchor right where I caught it. Then both of us do not catch any more. I have to move and find another school and the offender will usually follow do do the same again.

right after the storm is when the bugs are falling off the branches and the fish come up to feed.

Agreed
