Theres a good article in The Fisherman(June 10) about this subject. The basic theory in the article was when the barometric pressure is dropping, there is less pressure on the fishes' swim(air) bladder, causing it to expand. This causes discomfort in the fish and turns them off from feeding. When the front passes, things stabilize and the fish begin to feed aggressively again. Also, the fish can sense the approaching front and will feed aggressively before the front moves through in anticipation of the discomfort to come. That explains the great fishing before a front moves in.
