Fishing on Friday

[XxthejuicexX]

Anyone think that with the weather coming through Friday afternoon will be worth fishing? It looks like the weather will be over by 3.

With the increase in water temperatures this week, it hard to say how this front may affect fishing. It may slow down fishing in some areas, but I think some parts of the lake will still be very good. I'll be wading some where tomorrow afternoon.

Up north here, it's supposed to be moved out by 9am. When I was younger, I loved to fish right after a storm. I was stupid and would sit in my car while what they now call "severe thunderstorms" would roll through and as soon as I couldn't hear the thunder anymore, get out and start fishing. More often than not, it would be a good bite directly after.

I think I might drag the boat to the lake tomorrow and see if I can get on some crappie, I will be fishing where I was at the other night first to see if it produces like the other night. I don't see the water temps dropping all that much.

If you get out let us know water clarity/conditions Juice. I may try to get out after work today.

Spring rains = fresh water (sometimes even warmer too) and food washed in. Since the temps aren't dropping a bunch fast I'd go.

Good luck!

I will not be able to go till around 4:30. I left the boat at home so I could check the water conditions out on the way in to the office. I am going to go home around lunch and hook up to it then head out after work.

Fish from the bank today go out in the boat tomorrow like me................woody

I should mention, since Woody posted it also, I was always on the bank after those storms.

I agree with TravisC also, and would add in the heat of the summer a good rain can offer cooler, and more oxygenated, water.

i used to the the same thing! some times, after a big storm passed there would be so much static electricity in the air, when you took a cast, your lure would land in the water but if you kept letting line out, the line would just keep going up and up and up making as big of an arc as you wanted to. craziest thing! take about 10-15 reel cranks and get zapped once you touched the graphite rod just like a carpet shock.

You got out there quickly!
One of the things I loved about fishing after a big storm was the calm, dark water. The winds would die down and the dark clouds still covered up the sun.
Many times, when getting a good storm in the middle of summer, I would tie on a topwater bait while waiting it out and start making noise on the water as soon as the storm was done.

its almost eerily calm...ya go from high winds, hard pounding rain to cloudy but dead calm winds....kinda spooky, even from the bank! way worse in a boat though.....man you see some nasty, nasty storms from the water.

Im wanting to get out tomorrow for anything thats gonna bite what ive got in the boat, crappie being #1 then i will just start chasing whatever is on the screen i guess. im hoping i can find some clear-ish water atleast.

You ever get the buzzing sound from your rod tip, the higher you hold it, the louder the buzz. Sometimes you even see a little blue spark in the last eye! I've seen that and the arc in the line probably more than I should have.

Good luck tomorrow TNB! I'm either going to FtC, the Harpeth or the Red River.

MN - Lightning struck so close to me once my ears rang for 15 minutes, I got a headache, and I jumped high enough off the ground to turn in mid-air and take off towards the car. That was in 95 and I don't stay out too long anymore

When it first happens its kinda cool, but after the fact, like now looking back it makes ya think if were we charging up for a lightning strike and were minutes away from getting fried! LOL.
