The use of Barometer ?

[David Von Drasek]

REdtick-used it today,barometer was rising,only caught 3 in about 2.5 hrs. Marked lots,they just had lockjaw.So far it sure appears that the falling,rising is more then a myth.Will keep you posted as i use it more.Was real easy to hook up! Good Fishin To Ya!!Dennis :D

I may be wrong, but my take on checking the barometer would be to see if you should go fishing. I check one in the shop all the time. Maybe every hour if somthing is going on outside. I have no question if when it's droping the fishing is better. I have seen sharp drops that by the time I got on the water the bite was off and when I got home it had gone up. I think it would be GREAT to hear from you guys that can check it on the water. I really hope you post reports. When are you going fishing, and how often do you fish. This is cool.

If you fish in moving water , rivers creeks, it does not make much difference.

Dennis, I was just waiting until I buy the GPS attachment, then I was going to "daisy chain" both attachments in at the same time. I can get the local barometric reading and the last 2 days log from www.crh.noaa.gov I would like hearing how you unit works and I may just hook mine up before I get my GPS unit.

Dave,thats how i hooked mine up [daisy chain]. Got a coupon from humminbird when i bought my 37-only had to pay $5.99 for shipping.If you didnt get one check their web site.Used it again today,was rising at first-no fish,then it leveled off and i caught a few-nothin great!!Let me know. David V.D.--i fish Wolf river area of Dale Hollow Lake I'll try to keep you posted as i go. Good Fishin To You Guys!!! Dennis

So, if I hook my unit up now, I can easily daisy chain any other attachments. OK, I may hook it up soon. I got the same deal you did.
It would be interesting to find out what the optimum barometric pressure would be. I really think that particular attachment would have limited value but I already have it, so, I may as well use it.

According to fishing barometers, at least the 2 I've seen, the optimum time to go fishing is when the pressure is between 29.80 and 30.20
Here is one that says 29.80 - 30.40 http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catal...kEnabled=false

Yep-LOL,my son says my boats startin to look like his science class,to many gizmos!KInd of interesting though to check. Sure wont let it deirmine when i"m going totally though!Any time on the water is time well spent!!Good Fishin To Ya!! Dennis :D
