Bucket Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 While we are at it , what is the best time , early morning , noon or afternoon ? Ross Bass often do not like the light, so if it is bright the bass will move into the shady deeper spots. I have found that surface lures work best at dawn and dusk and diving or sinking lures the rest of the day. As Stewy said 1020 is a good pressure to be at and overcast days work well. If your planning to hit the Nepean this weekend got some bad news, The F1 boats are on and the river is closed to everyone else.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1975 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 does that higher pressure thing also influence other types of freshwater fish eg cod or saltwaterfish. I seem to remember reading about it somewhere but not the details. thanks 1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) Hot humid afternoon before a huge storm is on its way is the perfect conditions, seems to produce the goods big time..just get ready to run or get the boat started when you that loud crack of lightning Edited November 6, 2006 by Trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outdoordan Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Thousand and twenty, Bass a plenty But in all seriousness, IMO the hight of the barometer dosn't have as much of an effect as a steady barometer. Air pressures will directly effect the swim bladder of the Bass, and therefore any sudden dramatic change wether it be up or down will adversly effect the fish. Fish can adjust themselves to suit any pressures it just takes time to do so. but it is widely accepted that a reasonably high steady barometer is prime bass time. The exception to this is the build up before a storm where sharp increases in pressures can turn bass on, Why this is i don't know, possibly they know of the pressure drop and tempreture change which is about to occur and feed ravonously in preperation? You'll have to ask a bass that one i think Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
