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.
They study LMB more closely than our striped friends.My guess would be primarily because the environment enables em to.I have seen underwater footage of the fish acting drunk in the High Pressure that follows a storm.Another bass had to lean on a dock post.LMB closely resemble S-B if u ask me in many ways.Usually the first day after a storm U won't catch anything the following day is better.I have heard it was for many reasons to much weed.Sand bothers there gills.I think they feed before a front for the reasons seen in the photo's also I think they feed because they know they are not gonna eat for a day or 2.In lakes u don't get the wave action that effects saltwater bass.But the largemouths feed like mad.I truly believe the drop in pressure trips a switch to tell em they better eat.Makes sense they are both fish that have tremendous sensory devices built in.It's called a lateral line.
FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
I'm gonna put the theory to the test while erneto or what ever the tropical storm is called is up here, because i'll be camping near my spot sooo maybe i'll sneak away if i'm sick of the camper...
anyone else gonna do it? or am i gonna be the onlyone catching the big fishys........
