Nah go fishing. If you can get a line in the water during a cyclone you'll clean up lol.

Yeah the fish just love the dirty , fresh water and the rivers flowing at 25 -35 kmh and 5 metres above their normal levels :laughing:

But I know blokes who love finding the edge of the dirty / clean water and fishing about a week after the waters subside

The fish won't eat supposedly while the water is in flood

Praying this thing gets downgraded before doing too much damage - best wishes to all those in the area.

Some people are scum

Turns out people are entering the possible Cyclone zones as fake SES officers and are offering to people in low lying areas that they will store gear in the shed at the SES headquarters which they aren't obviously doing

Bloody hell some people make my blood boil

I didn't say flood. I said cyclone. The barometric pressure change stirs the fish right up. Obviously not in the flood affected water.

Well seeing that if the barometer drops you will more than likely get a bucket load of fresh water coming from the creeks and river from all the rain you might find the instinct drives them to feed realizing they won't probably have a feed for a while

Where I'm from (Grafton) it takes quite a while for the fresh water to flush down even after torrential rain so during the pressure drop the water quality is fine and fishing in shitty weather is one of the best things you can do.

It depends on the fish though, I find that fish that are highly predatory become even more so during this time so it's probably got as much to do with this specific type of fish going on the march to look for cover or get a belly full before the fresh comes down as it does with barometric pressure.

I'm specifically referring to fish like flathead, bass, trout … I'm not sure about barramundi, but I imagine it'd be a similar story with them. Particularly flathead are easy as hell to catch during storms if you can find them.

Its funny how us fisherman have all these weird little things we do or believe

My brothers swear by the summer solstice , no matter what the tides times moon phase

I find bream bite better in the rain for some reason

Grunter with westerlies
