    Default Noticed something


    Has anyone else noticed this? I've been paying attention lately and it seems like when the barometric pressure is below thirty, I just fill the boat with them. When it gets above thirty, I struggle a little bit. Just a thought.

    I need to start checking the barometric pressure. If this is true I never go fishing when it is below thirty.

    Its true barometric pressure has everything to do with the bite but I still say go fish everytime you get the chance favorable conditions or not. I just enjoy being on the water so much more (if that is possible lol) as I get older and older and the fish have less and less to do with whether or not I have a good time or not. I just think about all the times I have missed going due to my health problems that just getting out there is so much more important to me today than catching even a single fish anymore. You know the old song "You never miss your water til the well runs dry" that would be me! Good fishing to all! Speck

    croppiedude - If I remember correctly, Guy Winters out of Missouri had a good article in Crappie Magazine quite a few issures back regarding barometric pressure. I think he said the best bite occurred between 29.80 and 30.20.

    My wife bought me one of those fishing barometers several years ago and according to it, that is when the best fishing is suppose to be. However, I have been keeping track of pressures each trip for several years now. Usually, if the barometer is falling, catching is off.

    It may be unique to the lake I fish. Anyway, just when I think I've got them figured out, they make a fool out of me.
