Stupid pressure
« on: Jan 16, 2021, 06:26 PM »
So I cancelled my trip for today due to the super low pressure that rolled in last night/today... as I've experienced in the past, low = slow.

I fished ahead of the storm on Friday just as the pressure was droppjng.. and caught 2 fish and had only a handful of flags all day.. some of the slowest and worst fishing of my life..

I'm starting to think this barometric pressure crap is just that... a bunch of crap.

I don’t really pay attention to the pressure, if I have a moment to get out I just go regardless.

I do have to say though today was one of the best days I’ve ever had on the ice. Went through about 3doz minnows today chasing flags.

tblaster if there is one thing for sure, it's that every rule can & will be broken.  Personnaly,  some of my best days have been as the pressure is on the way down.  Enough times that I will make every effort to be there just before & during a good snow or rain.  The problem is the fish don't live by our rules & I have been skunked on some of the "best days".  I've also had great days when they shouldn't bite at all like those Bluebird days. So just keep fishin when you have time to fish.    Good luck

In the places that I fish, historically, the worse the weather the better the bite.

Not sure how true this is ..but I do recall the worst weather and fish catches seem to be the most memorable ...unlike uneventful trips ...but blue bird days seem to be the worst .
Give a man a fish he eats for a day .Teach a man to ice fish he has an obsession for a lifetime

This.  Fish behave differently, doesn't mean they stop biting completely.

I agree with that. I have a fishing calendar where the best days to go fishing are in Blue. Yep, everyday on that calendar is in Blue.

I WATCH THAT BAROMETER  ....because of research it has now scientifically been proven that times of rising and falling barometic pressure triggering a Hormonal  response in all females  which can cause mood swings ,irrational thinking, irritability and acts of violence. at such times i suggest  being off fishing!!!! if this post finds it's way to my lady i will show you younger men the art of back stepping lying and denying

I tried tracking pressure but there seems to be other factors that come into play as well. Hell I just go fishing and if I catch a bunch I do if I get skunked I get skunked but I got out and had fun trying anyways.
FISH ON! and Tight Lines

I have always thought the sun rising caused all that in females.

I started reading through this and misread this as "horizontal" immediately thinking, "What could be wrong with that?"  :woot:

Silly me...  ::)
