SW winds and a falling barometer have almost always seemed to work well for me locally - but the older I get the more I have learned to never say 'always' I generally try to avoid a full moon with no cloud cover, too, but then I've also had nights where the bass didn't turn on until the full moon rose - right when I was getting ready to leave - go figure

Overall, I have to agree with EdB - the other variables probably have a bigger impact on the response of the food chain than just barometric pressure alone.

I had to nod my head to Mike P's Vineyard experiences - the one thing that does get me a little wound up is a fast moving squall - and I've had some dandy nights on one side or the other of them - but when the static charge in the air is discharging through your guides when you touch them, it's God's way of telling you to get the hell out of Dodge, muy pronto

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
