Paul I read some scientific study about the effects of barometric pressure on fish and this guy concluded that the effect is nil. He claimed that the lack of fish activity had more to do with light conditions. High pressure is usually associated with bright clear skies, while lows are more often cloudy or overcast. Naturally, we associate better fishing with low pressure systems.

Bingo! I believe you are correct as it was bright and fairly sunny yesterday. One of my friends here on the board was fishing in the same area only in the dark and he had 7 decent fish so, there you go.
Looks like it's time to go to the 0' dark 30 hours.

No boat, back in the suds.

The one thing that I've been able to pin point from my logs is that falling pressure triggers the feed. The sharper the fall, the better the bite. Finding where it's happening is another story….
