    I have always looked at it like a big press. As the atmospheric pressure drops the press comes down and puts pressure on the fish and most fish want bite with the weight on them. If the barometric pressure is rising the pressure is released on the fish and they will bite.
    This might sound lame, but it's the only way I know how to explain it.

    Stump Hunter explained it pretty much as I know it. I am not convinced it really affects fishing all that much. If you watch the weather men, they say low pressure systems allow rain or snow to move in. If that's the case, then high pressure holds those systems out of an area, which means less clouds or bluebird skies. I have never had trouble catching crappie with cloudy skies, but bluebird skies make it TOUGH. Am I thinking wrong here? Maybe paying too much attention to the tv weather men?

    My partner and I kept records that included BP one year. We could not find any pattern that was consistent. I will take a cloudy day with a 5-10mph wind, any direction, with a front moving in. 99% of the time forget it on a bluebird day the day after a front.

    I like your scenario, bu I believe you got your press wired up backwards. Low pressure = less air mass.

    Default My take

    On baromentric pressure has always been in general:

    Dropping or Low pressure means larger fish such as big bass will be much more active.

    High, raising, or high stable pressure means more and smaller fish will be more active.

    I used to fish the dropping barometer alot. The best i can tell you is to make up a fishing sheet showing your lakes and or lakes, record barometer ,temp, time, date and location and all fish caught and then compare to your lunar tables of fishing periods and barometer/to catch and size of catch. When i used to bass fish it was scary how well may large sized bass catch related to
    the lunar and activity time listed form infishermans site. Its been a while since i recorded my trips but helps immensely when you forget easily season to season exactly when to start fishing a spot.

    I Think Dropping Pressure Means A Storm Is Approching And High Is Fair Weather,seems Like As Long As It Is Moving One Way Or The Other Fish Can Be Found, Imo,,,,great Grandpa Use To Tell Us That Was What He Was Going To Have Done At The Dr.'s Office,,,,,,have His Barametric Pressure Checked,,,,,
