I was about an hour from home and 30 minutes from shore when a popup thunderstorm hit. I made it to the bank to wait it out so i was bored waiting on the storm to pass. I dropped a line and it didnt even settle before i had a fish on. this continued as long as the storm did and as soon as the sun popped out, the bites stopped. I went home with a wet butt and a ton of fish. good times.

We used to hang a coleman lantern just above the water at the Grande Isle fishing bridge worked like a champ for white trout and specs! Good times :)

I've watched alot of other fishing channels and I have to say I love your yours. I spend alot of time in my day watching your videos.

My experience with fishing during a storm is that it brings them in. For example, a trout honeyhole that I fish does awesome in spring and fall, because the water temps are cooler at the surface than in summer time (supposedly the trout like ~52 F). Flies work great there, because they are not bottom feeders. Anyways, during a rain storm in summer, Im able to catch those trout with flies because they come up to the surface when the rain cools off the higher temp waters. Again, I can't really prove this scientifically speaking, but it's what I've experienced with fishing during a storm.

I don’t follow many fisherman on KZread however your videos are awesome man! Keep it up!

Actually depends in the area if many different fishes around. And before or after the Storm comes the fishes scatters many sizes. I did fished with my friends and we have caught Groupers and Yellow fin Snappers. Its pretty expensive fishes in HK. Stay safe and have a happy fishing day.

Fluke/Flounder/Weakfish are fish that respond well to low barometric pressure (times like storms). Stripers, bluefish, and pelagic species for example tend to become difficult to catch in low pressure systems.

You guys are g's for going out there in the storm I never fished in the storm before but now I might try.

Fascinating... The first few dives with my prototype lander I had ziptied some green glow sticks to it, later models had their own lights so I never used the glow sticks again... I might have to revisit this, esp during any night dives...

Your videos are amazing man, always doing something different and a good entertainer! I'm in the UK, mid 20's and have fished here in the UK, Turkey and South America/Africa. But I'd love to travel like you do and learn more about different types of fish!

Another great video, keep them coming.

My best outings fishing have been in the rain and right afterwards. Great build and video.

Great videos team senko, I'm subscribing!

I have been building and using these for a while and let me tell you they work absolutely wonderful and have many videos and photos to prove it

best & most innovative fishing channel on yt! i wish i could buy stock in this guy!

Great videos. Real content. Thanks.

Senko you videos are amazing!!!

Lived on the Housatonic River in Connecticut for 20 years it was my back yard and we used glow sticks to do the same thing and they really did attract fish and a bunch of eels 👍🏻so I would say it really does work 👍🏻

I live in Maine and in my experience storms kick up water run off that often provide food fish as well as blocking out some of the sun light to provide more cover for predatory fish.

Ive always had good luck fishing right before Or during a storm👍

This music rules!Great video dudes!!!

Mmmm perch Glad to see you up and around and out as well!!! With Irma coming up they eat like hell but finding what time is tricky

When a storm first blows in ,the fish get into a feeding frenzy, and will eat just about anything.

Good luck on your surgery! TIGHT LINES and SCREAMING DRAGS! : ) !

Once again, your entertaining content and awesome personality have combined into a great video. Keep it up, buddy!

Senko Skipper No sir, nothing in particular. I just love to see all the dock, pier ,and surf fishing videos. I prefer to not use a boat when i take my family fishing , and i have learned a lot from you already.

This absolutely works. When I fish from the pier at night I hang my lantern a few inches above the water and tear em up. We also use lights on our boat. I have flood lights all around it.

Fishing during a storm in my exp does bring the fish in (both in fresh and salt) Trick is as always finding the right lure pattern which as of late has been bucktails with otter bait strips

Awesome! Like always

Never seen that before looks awesome

I was planning to make one of those. But the cooling was tricky if you're planning on going over like 10watts. Cree leds are dirt cheap and awesome. I might look into building one.

Before a storm the atmospheric pressure drops below the normal amount (~30 inHg). The decrease in pressure triggers the fish to eat more. The low pressure system should carry out through the entirety of the storm. That's why a lot of times you might catch more on a gloomy, overcast day. Cheers😊

Every single fish has a swim bladder, some will call them air bladders. Think of them as little buoyancy swim balloons that allow fish to swim straight, not sink or float etc. Anyway This is where a fish will first begin to experience discomfort from a drop in barometric or “atmospheric pressure” most commonly associated with an incoming storm; beginning around 24-36 hours prior to the storm fronts actual arrival. This is the window for some awesome fishing. Because In response to this discomfort, cause by the drop in pressure larger fish will head to deeper water while smaller may head to shallower areas in order to adjust to the new pressure and wait out the storm, however just prior to as well as while embarking on their efforts to relieve their discomfort they will ravenously feed! Some say it’s because the fish is unsure as to how long the discomfort/storm will last, others say it’s because the fish is unsure if there will be food when they get to the location of relief.. All I know is the bite is most definitely better/amazing the day before a storm. It’s like clockwork and doesn’t require a hurricane, a decent thunderstorm will set Em off. If you live near water get yourself a barometer or download an app, it’s worth it. Living in Florida, Irma was a hell of a storm but damn was the fishing good. I always fish grass flats with clear shots to deeper channels/water ways during this time. Great for massive reds, trout, jacks, blues, even the occasional tarpon. Anyway, dig your guys videos. Keep doing what your doing!

Good idea..... I will trying.....

Nice job. I will try.

Come to the Missouri river to catch an average of 20 to 30 lbs per catfish

Right after or before a storm I've always had great luck with catfishing.

Always fish rough water. Just not to rough. Storm helps to stir up bottom. helps attract

back home before a tropical storm or hurricane hits, the bites for game fish seem to rise. idk why but they are a bit active during the day

+Daniel Na 84 all thanks to you!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

In Wisconsin we always got more fish when its raining. Or when its overcast.

When a front moves in or out it lowers and raises the barometric pressure which makes fish feed or go dormant

Yeah during a storm the barometric pressure falls and a lot of fish bite when the barometric pressure is falling

I have caught brown bullhead & fantail carp on the exact same thing!!!

Hey I want to know have you ever fish with a Japanese fishing reel called OKUMA I the state of Florida & Florida keys ?

Dude love the videos......

Cool video,, thanks for sharing.What brand of fishing pole were you using in this video? Please respond..

Fishing before or in a storm is the best.

Hey can you give us and idea on how he made that light. I am super interested. Great channel

From my experience, when it comes to storms it all has to down with a low pressure system. If the Barometric pressure is dropping fish go dormant. If it's just a big rain event, the rain oxygenates the water and stimulates feeding . Now after the rain if the temperature drops significantly this will reduce fish activity.

Usually during the Typhoon cyclone is around the corner the winds blows the water currents and makes the fishes goes to a safer place. Sometimes i can catch a 10 lb Grouper by luck during the Typhoon cyclone. Its fun but dangerous too. Take care and stay safe always.

Fish seem to love to hide in the shadows of these light lines

I know when its storming I typically catch 5-10 more crabs than I normally would, I think maybe because they go to the shallow ends to get what gets stirred up. or to seek shelter.

I bought a set of light tubes for my boat for 40$ ish. green Blu white plastic tubes with halagen bulb. hooked up to 12v trolling battery.

Yeah I bought some light online too , under $20, and the biggest issues with these cheaper lights is , the seal is not always good , so right away when I got mine , I went back and silicone the end caps and where the cord goes in . Had mine in water 2 weeks straight , no issues Of course I think you're suppose to have it on a timer for at lest 3-4 days to gradually attract baits , before the bigger fish will show up . Unless it's a establish fish area already

Do any of you know any other good salmon fisheries other than pink salmon cuz I've had a blast catching these and I'm just trying to see what else I can go for after the season ends

Awesome lamp how can I made one of that lamp here's,.. can you give me the sample of that lamp picture to me I wish I could make them too

Predator fish get really active right before storms, I'm not sure why but that's my experience. Big catfish really move around a lot also.

how long you wait until fish coming to light ?

Im working on the underwater lights at the moment u guys used car battery or lithium battery btw?

Biggest red fish I've ever caught was in a storm! Down IN TX,USA they getup to 40". He clocked in at 44".
