Default Fishing after a storm

Was wondering how everyone else finds the fishing after a big storm like the one we just had. I know the rivers will be swollen and many unfishable, but I thought the lakes would be fine, so I hit SR last evening with great anticipation. We spent 6hrs on the water with just 2 very light hits on herring and none on lures. We put a light out to draw herring which usually works very well with no luck. The light was drawing activity on the fish finder, but nothing near the surface. Anyway in hindsight I think I should have completely changed tactics and went to the creek mouths and fished with crawlers. Talking to a couple other boaters coming off the water around midnight, bad luck seemed to be universal. I see on the board mixed results. The solunar table for last night was as high as its ever been and that didn't pay off. ( not a real believer anyway and now more so). So what do some of you other guys think about fishing after a big storm? Any suggestions other than stay home?
