Drizzle Fishing
By Greg Smith, Fri Dec 9th
Great fish catching opportunity after a rain storm. What is that you might ask? Well sit back and read on. Drizzlefishing is all about taking a break and getting side-trackedfrom your normal daily activities towards the end of anafternoon or evening thunderstorm, even if only for a briefperiod of time. Just after the storm moves through, grab yourfishing rod and head for your nearest canal, seawall orbeachfront and make a few casts with your favorite lure. Keep it simple. Do not make an ordeal out of it. Get to thenearest body of water you can reach. It could be saltwaterfishing off of a dock, beach or jetties for snapper, trout,redfish, flounder, tarpon or snook; or a fresh water river, pondor canal for bass. Just take a spinning rod and reel, and acouple of easy lures like soft plastics and topwaterplugs.
This type of is pleasurable, relaxing and productive. Onmany occasions such as this my work day will suddenly stop! Ithen get up out of my chair which is perched in front of my workcomputer, immediately grab my rod and head off down tothe fresh water canal behind the house and start throwing a softplastic lure or worm. I often concentrate my casts around thestorm drains since noticing that the bass will often timescongregate around these after a storm, possibly waiting
fortheir next meal to wash out of the drain. Depending on when you make it to the water after the rain storm,you may find yourself standing and in a rain drizzle.That is ok. Just relax, cast, take long deep breaths and enjoythe moment. Just be careful not to be out during any remaininglightning. Fishing this way is not only therapeutic, you will catch fishtoo! Not being a scientist, I can not tell you why, maybe it'sthe change in pressure, but you will probably notice that manytimes after a storm moves through the bite will turn on duringthe calm period. Take advantage of this opportunity timewhen you can. You will be glad you did. It will enable you toclear your mind of the strains and tensions that your normalwork day puts you through, sometimes catch a few fish, then getback to your day feeling just a little bit better. The inspiration for this modest writing came from my own recentdrizzle experience and yes, was even lucky enough tocatch six bass in a short period of time. After the bite wasover, I quickly returned back to my computer and typed thesethoughts. Give it a try yourself.
