Storm Fishing

[grampieshanty]

 Was wondering if anyone has had any luck before or during a storm. I myself have only tried it a couple times. Had good luck the day before a storm & none during.

Some of my biggest catches have been prior and/or during a storm.......good example is when it is sunny and a storm starts to roll in the fish get active and bite.  Same thing occurs in reverse. 

I think it has something to do with barometric pressure going up or down (not sure which way)

Anyone else know?

Fish are supposed to bite on a falling or stable barometric pressure. Before a storm rolls in or during a stretch of stable (calm) weather are the best

          Some of the best days we had fishing was in miserable weather.the difference was that we were all drinking back then so we didn't mind it.Now we are older and sober so we don't like it.Sitting in front of a woodstove sounds good now.LOL

The fish bit today hard before it started snowing. Frontal fishing are some of my favorite times to fish.

There's nothing like a good snow squall moving in to make the tip-ups fly!

I know, right! Gotta love them wind flags!

Kinda like hunting! Sometimes biggest ones come out in the nastiest conditions because somehow they know most of us lazy humans wont be out

It doesn't matter to me, I plan on being out in the "blizzard" tomorrow since I took a vacation day to fish Friday & Saturday I plan on making the most of it regardless of the weather.
Have pop up, anchors & a nice heater...
Bring on the fish!
Gonna try Georgia Shore again, perch are biting, mostly small dinks but a few jumbo keepers makes it interesting.

I have had good luck before the storm and then average luck during the storm. Barometic pressure is
going to fall with this storm Friday and should be good day. Sat will be overcast and good day
for deep water jiggging.

There is only one way to know the real answer!

Agree 100%!Some of my most exiting fishing has been during a squall,when almost all the flags go off !

Best place to be is on the ice just waiting to see what happens! Grampieshantys shanty is nice and warm so that is the place to be! ha

they bit hard today.....

        one year like 12 years ago we caught 46 walleyes and 42 were caught when the barometric pressure was under 29.0

Well ,todays results were not what I had hoped for. 3 flags, 1 perch. Between the three of us fishing total of 8 perch.

Better than working and wishing you were fishing!
