| Headed out for the first trip this upcoming weekend and will be fishing mostly 24 hours straight including most of the night. Forecast so far is calling for a rainy cold front most of the time we will be out. We plan on throwing some slow moving topwater, big blades and a loud crankbait.
My question is about the topwater, if it is raining, does it lose its effectiveness? Would the other high vibration options work better? We are fairly new to the night bite in general.
Thanks,
Trevor |

| I'm sure we will have a couple naps in at some point...
As far as a low frequency topwater, can you give me an example of a lure? I have a Tyrant Lola and a hawg wobbler. |

Location: SE, WI. | YEP, splashtail/flaptail, creeper, or a hog wobbler, which has a clunking sound  JD |

Location: SE Wisconsin | Topwater in the rain is one of my favorite combinations on any body of water. Day or night, it matters very little to me. Some water is stained so dark those fish are eating blindly when they strike, anyways. I can't really think of a reason why it should matter if it's day or night. Good luck, hope you catch a big one worth sharing a report back on  |
