Bass Fishing After A Hurricane

Not sure about afterwards but I always tear them up in my pond before a storm. They've been feeding all day...

It varies a lot depending on the situation. Often the winds will blow "dead water" (low oxygen) into good water making the bite difficult. For Andrew, because there was a lot of wind and not much rain and the result was a massive fish kill due to that.

Whacked em in Bruin after Ida fishing mud lines where the ditches poured in. That's all I got

It stripped all the leaves off the trees and churned up the bottom, which added to the low O2 levels. However, when we found them, they were stacked up and very hungry.

I would expect to see a pretty big fish kill in the spillway around sorrel and pigeon, and on the inside around lake verret, belle river area since the storm is going straight through there. As for the fish that make it, I wouldn’t expect a significant difference in the bite on Sunday being it’s a few days post storm. If anything, I would say it’s going to be tougher because all this rain will have the water really muddy.

More water is just going to make them harder to find. As far as the bite, it is just going to be according to the barametric pressure

This guy knows what he's talking about.

I've always wondered how fish detect the barometer underwater. It defies logic for me. It's so sensitive that slight changes actually affects their behavior.

It is just part of the voodoo that we can’t totally understand.
