Barometer survey

[silverside]

Have you personally found a trend in barometric pressure that seems to be the best indicator of a good bite? Falling?, steady low?, steady high?

High, low, steady, changing.....I go fishing whenever I can. Never paid too much attention to it. Maybe I should!? I always have a good time no matter.

I have kelp up with barometer, wind direction, time of day, date, water and weather temp. for 2 years and so far nothing ever lines up the same to say it will be a good or bad fishing day. I will just say what I have found out so far is that any day fishing is a good day.

[silverside]

Both of you fall right in line with me. Sometimes I'm hungry sometimes I'm not. I think it has more to do with what I did the night before than it does the weather.

I played with a couple of years also and I couldn't make it line up. I would catch fish when I shouldn't and not catch when I should.
I'm sure there is something to it but not going to dwell on it anymore. I will just keep it in my bag excuses for the slow days.

Years ago when I commercial fished I found the barometer had a profound effect on fish movement especially schools of fish during migration or spawn but as far as recreational fishing I have not been able to establish a pattern that I'm confident in. I am of the opinion that very high pressure blue sky days are not the best, but fish do have to eat.

Most of the very best and most memorable fishing trips I have ever experienced were on very dark days when it was snowing. I imagine those days had very low barometric pressure.

I have never logged it. I think water conditions have a more impact than barometric readings. Seems like you have to adjust to the barometer where they can be found but they will bite. I do think they will slow way down on a high and low for a period of time.

don't know never tracked pressure, but I do know pressure effects fish high pressure fish deep low pressure not so deep and the difference could be just a foot or two.

I do best prior to a low pressure system moving in, especially late evening. If I "feel it", I mosey on down to our dock.
