Bass Fishing After Rain — Are the Fish On or Off? (The Answer Will Surprise You)

About this episode
This episode explores how rain influences bass behavior and provides strategies for fishing before, during, and after storms.
In this episode of Before the 1st Cast, we break down exactly how rain changes bass behavior and what you need to do to stay on fish before, during, and after a storm. We cover why the conditions after the rain matter more than the rain itself, how warm vs. cold rain affects feeding activity completely differently, and why rising water vs. falling water requires two totally different game plans. We also get into how current repositions bass around structure, how to find fish in muddy water using vibration and water displacement, and when to abandon the bank and go deeper after a tough front moves through. With FreshBaitz soft plastics like the HellaMite, Fresh Scorpion, Fresh Beetle, and FreshBaitz Lizards ready for every condition, you'll never get caught off guard by changing weather again.
