Sorry, bad joke but I couldnt resist.Dont let that stop you.....just saddle up the horse.
I agree with Greg. I never let the conditions stop me from going, but knowing what may be causing a bad bite, and knowing how to adjust accordingly, can make a big difference. BP is one of the most important factors, but I think moon phase is just as important, especially this time of year.
Doesnt really matter either way. If you want to fish bad enough, then you will, regardless of the conditions. Aint no shame in gettin skunked, it happens to us all, whether we admit it or not!!

One thing I've noticed is it seems to effect shallow bite the most. When pressure is high I fish deeper close to the bottom and tight to structure (tops , palletbeds , ect ). I have seen times in 6 to 9' of water where I had to drop jig to the bottom and pick up only inches to get a bite under high pressure. Deep is relative to the body of water you fish .

I don't pay any attention to it. I only get to fish so many days a year and I'm gonna go no matter what. With that said I think it plays a part in how active the bite is but the fish will bite everyday no matter the conditions u just have to adjust to put the bait in front of them. Like nimrod said higher pressure days look close to bottom.
