Know When the Fish are Biting
It is a well known fact that weather determines a days fishing. Check the weather in your area and clear your schedules!Sunny Weather
Fish are less active on hot summer days. Because of the increase in temperature they can behave somewhat sluggishly. For fish that do not prefer extreme heat, they will retreat to deeper, cooler water. The best time for fishing in sunny weather would be around dusk or dawn because of the temperature change and increase in insects.
Cloudy Weather
Cloud cover generally has an increase on fish activity because of a change in water temperature and the fishes feeding habits. If there has been a warm spell and a cloud rolls in, cooling the water down, the fish will be more likely to go to the cooler water. However, on cold days such as in winter, they will drift towards the warmer water. Predator fish also change their hunting tactics depending on cloud covers and shadows and may swim closer to the shore on a cloudy day where they are less visible.
Rainy/Stormy Weather
When there is a dramatic change in weather conditions, such as a storm, the barometric pressure will change, and this has a huge effect on the fish. Atmospheric pressure effects everything from temperature to water flow. The fish follow their food sources and changes in the water can cause food sources to change. This often causes noticeable fish movement. Fish are often active before the arrival of a storm because of a change in pressure.
