damariboyz Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) Hi paggles My understanding in a nut shell is this, When the Barometric pressure rises it causes the fishes with swim bladders to expand and basically that gives them the feeling of having an empty tummy WARNING I have been known to be wrong on several occassions.

Hooky. Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I always thought it was the other way. The increased high pressure decreases their "tummy's" and makes them fell empty, hence they want to feed. Buggered if I know but this question always seems to pop up and I'm still none the wiser. I don't usually worry about the pressure too much for the simple fact that I just go fishing whenever I can, not when the barometer tells me too. cheers Hooky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluecod Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Paggles, A rising barometer does two things. Firstly, there is general concensus that a lot of fish seem to bite more freely on a rising mercury than on a falling one - there are exceptions of course and you also have to take into account phase of the moon, time of day, tide, wind conditions cloud cover, bait and/or lure selection, clarity of water and water temperature etc etc. Secondly, a rising barometer places more pressure on your eyeball thus reducing a stigmatism and allows you to tie better knots In truth, if you only ever fished when conditions were perfect - you'd spend time down at the fishmarkets.
