Barometric Pressure and Fishing.
Fish can be fickle when it comes to taking the bait. Low pressure? High pressure? Rising? Falling? Any thoughts?

I am comparing my "luck" with the information on this site. Too soon to make any guesses, but they sure take it seriously.

Cypress, the moon creates the tides, barometric pressure is a result of masses of weather moving about at a different speed than the rotation of the
planet. I'm not sure about all that and I'm not sure the fish have any more info than I have. Check with the fish/weather science chingon Jimmy
Houston and maybe he'll give us all some useful dope.

Freshwater Bass fisherman believe, without a doubt, right or wrong, barometric pressure
has a bearing on lake fishing. I've heard the subject
discussed re: the Ocean, can't remember the popular
opinion, can't imagine after a certain depth it would
matter, shallow I would think it a possibility

Pressure from the ex-wife about fishing
I found that when the ex gave me pressure about not to go fishing I always had a good day.
I guess that was a coincidence.

Maybe temperature breaks are more important!

In my experience ....
Freshwater Fish are MUCH more sensitive to pressure change - try fishing Black Bass after a rainy , low-pressure system passes thru and you have Blue
sky . It ain't going to happen .
Saltwater Fishes ? I've yet to see a solid pattern linked to the Barometer .

weather-induced barometric pressure changes vary about 100 millibars. change of 10 meters water depth is 1 bar pressure change. doubtful the fish,
changing water depths continually, feel the minor pressure change of barometric pressure changes of weather.
fish probably do react to waves, and changes in turbidity, light, salinity and nutrients, due to weather

I`ve heard a few captains say an approaching storm often gets the bite going.

seems like the bugs like it when the storms are raging. it must mix up the water and get those scents flowing.

When fishing the Saltwater Bays we always like a real good tidal inflow or outflow... anything when the water is moving
When fishing Billfish (at least in San Diego) I have always had great results in being in the area I want during a slack tide... Of course billfishing
during a full moon is tougher they say...
I have heard the barometer in freshwater makes a differrence...
who knows?

Tides? Moon? Barometric pressure? Caught lots of deep water Red Snapper on high pressure. Deep water, not affected by pressure? Shallow water fish
seem to be more active on low or steady pressure. Gill nets take 'em no matter what the pressure is.
