Here is the fun, weird science. Catfish have an inner ear and a swim bladder. They can feel a storm coming hours before you do.
The best time? Right before a low-pressure front rolls in. That drop in pressure tells them: “Feast now! The buffet is closing!”
They go into a feeding frenzy. It’s like Black Friday for fish. You drop a line, and you’ll feel a tug in seconds.
The Rainy Window
Don’t run inside when it rains. Run to the bank. Rain washes bugs and worms into the water.
It also breaks the surface tension. Catfish love muddy, churning water. It makes them feel brave.
A light drizzle at dusk? That is the golden hour. You might need a raincoat, but your cooler will be full.
