weather question...
#1
How do High or Low pressure systems affect fish feeding activity. Is it more of a rising or dropping pressure thing that triggers good fishing and if so which one?

Some of my best times have been hours before a rain storm and during the rain storm. So if you get caught in a storm and theres no lightning, keep fishing. Extended low preasure has effected my bass fishing so as they get more lockjaw.[unsure]

[cool][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Hi there FishFriend - here are some guidelines for fishing in different weather conditions.

Fishing Trends
Suggested Tactics

[font "Poor Richard"][size 3][green]
[/green][/size][/font][#800000]High
Clear skies
[/#800000]
[font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Fish slow down, find cover or go to deeper waters.
Slow down lures and use baits more attractive to fish. Fish in cover and in deeper waters.
[/size][/green][/font][#800000]Rising
Clearing or improving
[/#800000]
[font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Fish tend to become slightly more active
Fish with brighter lures and near cover. Also fish at intermediate and deeper depths.

[/#800000][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Normal fishing
Experiment with your favorite baits and lures.
Falling
Degrading
Most active fishing
Speed up lures. Surface and shallow running lures may work well.
[/size][/green][/font][#800000]Slightly lower
Usually cloudy
[/#800000]
[font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Many fish will head away from cover and seek shallower waters. Some fish will become more aggressive.
Use shallow running lures at a moderate speed.
[/size][/green][/font][#800000]Low
Rainy and stormy
[/#800000]
[font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Fish will tend to become less active the longer this period remains.
As the action subsides, try fishing at deeper depths.

That's a really cool info tid bit. That really breaks it down. Although that can't speak for every situation, that covers the norm very well. Great input
