I'm not sure that it's the actual pressure change that stimulates feeding activity in fish. Ascending or descending just a few feet in depth causes much more pressure change than variation in barometric pressure.
But, I strongly believe in improved fishing on the front of an approaching storm, and often in the aftermath. This is supported by much personal observation. On a storm front, the decrease in light intensity and increase in surface disturbance are probably the key factors. After a storm, bass clean up on crabs, shellfish, and worms dislodged by wave action in the shallows. I believe that this explanation holds more credibility than the barometric pressure change theory.
