Re: Barometric pressure
I had a diary once awhile ago now.
It was interesting going back to have a look at it after sometime.
I would note down the wind direction, moon phase, pressure, what time the high tide was.
If it was overcast/clear etc.

Re: Barometric pressure
There were certain trends/patterns, when I did have those really good sessions.
But in the end I narrowed it down to just a couple of elements.
I’d go back and fish in those conditions and would have success.

Re: Barometric pressure
5 years worth out of 1 diary book and you'll have most fishing answers already written down. Whenever you mention keeping a diary of fishing trips its always met with the most dumbfounded look imaginable. Fish are pattern behavior driven first and foremost.Lightningx wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 12:31 amI had a diary once awhile ago now.

As for barometric pressure. Best sessions I've had and know of are when the arse has completely fallen out of it. Depends how much you enjoy the bashing back through 30knot+ squalling winds though

Barometric pressure probably does have an effect on fishing, i've never researched it or done an experiment but if you recorded your own findings it would probably provide some insight. Usually the only things I check is wind speed/direction and tides.
