However, once high pressure builds and the wind swings around to the N or NW, it just dies. Is it pressure-related, or due to the wind shift flattening the rip and killing the movement of the water--who knows But that's an observation based on what I've seen happen an awful lot.
damn skippy.......
I follow the barometric pressure and some great fishing can be had , i like around 29.7
when the pressure goes up the fish go down so a boat is a good thing to have But at other times I have got alot of fish with the pressure up.
any way I have my sweet spot for catching fish. and dnothing beats a front moving in and fishing stormy weather.
some of You boat guys may know that the bones chow hard as a squall moves in,
alot of nuances are involved and alot comes from exp on the water. some nights all can be just right yet no fish only to find them on the other side of the tide or another beach yet at the same time that high front can shut down all the beaches. and thats when its time to hit up the bays and estuarys to take a look.
another point for some of You, in a full moon, bays are usually holding fish busting on top or slapping sand eels.
Here are the top plugs that will catch
1.,,,.. yellow and white bomber ( you may swap out patterns and shades of yellow)

2,.,.,.. black and chrome bomber
the next few bombers are after these , pearl white or bone I have tricked out bombers that are hued pearl that scream they have there hooks hopped up to.
wood..
1.,,.,.,. 1 a yellow danny worked on top
2,., a yellow pike (John R knows this one from fishin with Me) worked on top
3.,.,. for needles I have some light colord ones , tsome colors I will tell You though for needles are white and variants of white and pink.
I toss a flesh colord needle and a yellow needle the most along with others
(hey I cant tell all)

FOR YOU EEL Guys.,.,.,.,.
whilt the eel is alive and spunky nail it down the throat or use a 3/8 rubber core above the swivel to get it down.
this is where the art begings as You want to keep the eel out there yet keep line control You want the only time You bring it in is when it hits the wash line. I find high pressure and or full moon or both this will land You fish.
as the eel calms down un weight it and toss it out and keep control, You want this thing on the bottom Yet moving at its own with out hindering the eel. agen" let the eel come in with the wash.
whats this got to do with barometric pressue.
ALOT!
