Fishing when site says poor fishing day.

The site says poor fishing today, but I'm going anyway. The Temp. is above freezing and there is no wind. Got to get out. Been trapped in the house a few days with the weather. The yellow perch should show up very soon. Question, anyone ever have good fishing when the site says poor fishing?

Hey Andy,

Good question...

Just because it says a good day, does not mean you will catch a fish...and if it says a bad day does not mean you will not catch a fish...

But hundreds if not thousands of years of watching and recording, shows that some days are better than others.

I have had many days fishing without catching a fish...in fact many days fishing without even getting a bite...But I have never had a bad day fishing. 😊
I like that, never had a bad day fishing. I know one thing I learned through the years of fishing. I want to be at my best fishing spots/areas at the best times. It pays off for me more then it does not.
haha - I've had a few bad fishing days, when just about everything went wrong.

Constant line tangles, lost expensive lures, frozen feet, sudden thunderstorm, forgot my kayak paddle after driving 80km to my favourite spot, fishing rod fell over board and was forever gone, got caught in a current and couldn't get back to shore. One day I even capsized with my kayak due to a leak and lost pretty much all my gear :-)
But those things didn't have anything to do with the fishing times :)

I go fishing on bad days if everything else feels good. Nice weather, good timing for the tides, high season, etc
I caught quite a few fish on bad days. But in general I think the chances are a lot better on good days.

happy fishing!
