The Barometric Bite

[Swells]

You are spending too much time looking at the barometric pressure.

Yup. If you look at most pressure data, it bumps about 29.8 to 30.1 and that's nothing. A change in the wind direction probably means more. For a real big storm, pressures will fall to like 27 or 28 inches of mercury. Trust me, you won't be fishing at times like that! Them Yanks up north pay a lot of attention to the barometer because they can get a cold front in August, and the pressures do go up and down more than around these parts.

Althougth I'm more interested in tidal movement than anything, I've heard all my life that a falling barometer gets fish biting. I also heard birds flying as opposed to setting on a highline wire and cows grazing rather than laying down are positive signs as well. the almanac is another fable?

I am not one to pass up on a learning session

Fishing with sneeky would be a dream come true! Don't miss out on this one!

Good info, too. I'll put it in my book for future reference!

You are spending too much time looking at the barometric pressure. That is time that can be spent out fishing. LMAO you can catch fish at any time I like the barometer to be around 30. The fish are always pigs and for some reason the aerobatics are a sight too see. They say that the fish are slow & sluggish BUT once that hook sets for some reason they always come alive? Spend less time looking at the barometric pressure and more time in the water; like DPop said there are exceptions to the rules. You just have to learn them...

Just when you think you have them figured out they change the rules!!! I thought today I would have smoked them right before the front. Had 3 blowups in the pouring down rain then the front hit and didn't get another bite. Some times you win and sometimes you lose!!! That's what keeps us coming back for more.

There are many exceptions to all the rules people come up with.

I think with fishing, there are always exceptions!

I'm hoping Wednesday after work will be good after the front, I guess we wait and see.

[buoy37]

I watched the pressure peak Friday around lunch time and then start to drop in the late afternoon. I left work early and was able to fish for only 30 minutes (5-5:30pm). It was on!!!

Saturday was the same story.

I always have better luck falling and lower myself in the flats

[buoy37]

Can I learn with ya buoy? . But really, thanks for this. We like to fish the prefront stuff. Topwaters are.off the.chain!

The other way around buddy. Your the one that hooked 54" of trophy trout in the past couple of days.

FYI........the bold entry was cut and pasted from someone elses write up on barometric pressure as it relates to fishing.
