Camo1808 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Rightio so im slowinf becoming a better fisherman and having more consistent results very very much with the help from this site and everyones advice. My main learning curve is to put in the hours and do heaps of research. So now im having better results by choosing the right tides/times/baits/areas for right species. Now I need help with barometer readings. I notice alot of people talk about the barometer levels and that. I need to know anything and everything about it. I use the app willy weather so always have a barometer reading in my fingers just need to know when is the best time. Is it different for different species. Does it vary to beach foshing or kayak estuary fishing? Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolate Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hello Camo1808, I don't out if the barometer readings is below 1018 anything below that forget it, That's what I go on, anything above that gets better. That's my input. Good to hear other on this subject. ALSO GOOD POST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickman Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 i havn,t read byrons post but knowing him well it would be a long read lol one thing i will say is a rapid rise or fall can really bring on a feeding frenzy one example off this was trolling for bonito around the gap and south we were picking up the odd one hear and there and a storm hit with lightning the fish went nutts for a good half hour when i got home i checked the bp and there was a sharp drop right on the hot bight just an example cheers gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W4z Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I've enjoyed learning from this post, so thanks guys. The post by jewgaffer is great. It got me wondering if I could buy a barometer that showed a bit of history, like in a graph, so you could see if it was dropping or rising. So far I haven't found anything like that but did come across this website that shows some history http://new.mhl.nsw.gov.au/data/realtime/barometric/ Cheers Waz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 You can get them. It's called a Barograph. You can get apps too for smart devices, I don't know how good they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belligero Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) I just use willyweather. It's good enough. I'm going fishing regardless! Edited January 6, 2015 by Central Coast 795 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtBundy Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Not sure of the accuracy - but I have an android phone and there is a barometer app that says it works off the phones barometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I downloaded a barograph app to my phone. It seems to be working . Except, those peaks which coincided with times I was driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zanderman Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I honestly have caught good fish on all different readings…so i have adopted the theory that having a bait in the water is better than no bait and i think it works well enough!
