Barometric pressure and fishing

[bobfly]

What do any of you think about falling pressure and fishing? Many times like today, I catch nothing when the barometric pressure is falling. No problem when it is steady or even raining, just before.

everyone pretty much believes it affects the fishing. I have been out on days with east winds and falling pressure and still filled the cooler.. so its hard to say what combo makes the bite turn off. But I believe it is a factor.

I have found on occasion the fish go into a feeding frenzy as the bp starts to drop, then shut down completely. Some of my best fishing is just before the weather gets ugly.

The best fishing I ever get is before a large drop! Hit the lake if the storms moving in! Good Luck!

Thanks for the comments. Well, I made up for this morning's skunk at the headpond (Arnprior) and caught some acrobatic large mouth and several crappies at Appleton on the Mississippi. It was raining when I arrived at 6PM but settled down to a nice calm and action was great. I think the BP was going up at the time. Most caught on white wooley bugger variations that I tie myself.
