Now I know there are old wives tales and the alminac and such, but I was wandering if any of you had experienced a correlation between weather patterns, temp, N,E,S,&West winds, bero. press., polar & lunar, cows graz'n, horses humpin, wife's cycle

, or having to go to work or church:D ; And catching fish? Something that has proven itself to you in times past. Please inlighten us.

For me it is 2 days before and 2 days after a full moon(especially at night), rising tide, West or SW wind, and always with out fail the week before or after I go fishing

The best way for YOU to catch fish is wait till I go, then you go the next day:D

Seriously, seems when the pressure is steady to rising is best for me. Worst times when pressure is falling OR theres a N, NE wind. The time of day also seems to matter. Either early morning or late afternoon is best for me.

But regardless, a bad day fishin is alot better than a good day at work!

i was in the bait store the other day getting minnows the lady told me thay would be biting today because all the minnows were in a little group on one side of the tank instead of scattered/ never heard that one before she lied

I don't know about the bite, but you can BET if I have to work, it's a beautiful day to be on the lake. :rolleyes:

painterfish:There was probably a correlation their, but probably between the net she used and the boat you used:rolleyes: ... ...they was grouped up because they's scared

The truest one I"ve found is "Wind out of the West-fishins the Best,Wind From the East-Fishins the Least!'

**CrappieOutlaw** · 02-23-2006, 06:31 PM

also agree 2 or 3 days before or after a full/new moon..............hate East wind also.

my all time favorite is an overcast, misty day with a warm front moving through.

**barrelslime** · 02-23-2006, 07:40 PM

Dont know if this fits but grandpa always said "you cant go fishing without your friend the wind!

**freeflow_23** · 02-23-2006, 07:45 PM

I second that N or NE wind usually creates lock jaw.
Overcast days are usually decent.
