Yes and no. All fish were caught Monday while it was raining but before the real heavy stuff moved through. Truthfully from shore, I'd rather fish in a torrential downpour than bright bluebird day as the bait and predators go deep and harder to reach from the shoreline. As the sun comes up, bait and fish will move deeper, you'll see less surface action so you have to adjust your presentation accordingly. My experience with Atlantics is they're very line shy. They follow your presentation but the difference between them committing at times can be the difference between 2lb. fluoro top shot and 6lb.
