Can i get some help with rain?

[Big Jay]

I’m wondering if anyone can give me basic info on how rainaffects crappie. Like dose rain shut them down or turns them up? Or do they getcloser to shore, or go deeper? Even if you can give me your personal experiencewith rains affect on your fishing trip. Thanks

I don't know the true effect but my experience have been some of both. I've fished the banks hard with no bites then a semi hard shower starts and ole nelly, can't keep up with the bites right along side bank in a foot of water. But also you have to account for the time of year as well. When I experienced this explosion it was in the middle of the summer when showers were rare. also I've found that a lot of fresh water can slow them as well. This is just my observation. I'm no expert by any means, lol.

I don't think rain affects them directly. It's more temperature, light levels and clouding of the water after a heavy rain.
