it rained up here on Thursday, I happened to be on a half way decent crappie pond, and yea, they bit...on any given day we'll get a mess of perch mixed in with them, but the craps were up high and hungry...very few perch, mess of good sized craps...quite a few 14" plus...couple that I had to take the tape to at the end of the day...I was suprised...so yea, craps bite in the rain...why not?
