Another trip another skunk

A week or two after rainfall ???? We had 80 inches of rain in New Jersey last year, I guess you never went fishing in 2018 ???

I guess I had better luck in lakes and ponds a couple days after rain, but in rivers and canals, I caught nada. I switched to bottom fishing like I said, that was a different story, targeted cats and carp with bait.

My biggest bass and river stripers of last year were within 24 hours of heavy rains

Had a great day for trout on the black river when visibility was about a foot due to rain

This was all during warm weather however, can't apply it to cold, but fish are chewing after rainfall.
