What do you feel is the most important, in other words, what would make you adjust your tactics the most.

Barometric Pressure in my opinion #1
" There is a road, no simple highway, between the dawn and dark of night, And if you go no one may follow, That path is for your steps alone.  Ripple in still water,When there is no pebble tossed,Nor wind to blow.  You who choose to lead must follow, But if you fall you fall alone, If you stand then who's to guide you? If I knew the way then I would take you home."  Robert Hunter & Jerry Garcia

Barometric pressure and water clarity gotta be number 1 for me.... Ill tell you though, I have been watching moon phases last few years and there are some convincing coincidences... Allways seems when the moon is high in the sky during the day the fish go bananas....

I fish when my schedule allows. If the fish are turned off for whatever reason, oh well, it beats sitting home on the couch, and I know I will get 'em the next time.

Fishing pressure from other ppl I found to be a major fishing factor. T

Fishing pressure is also a major factor. My fav. place to bring kids fishing was awsome flags every couple min. and plenty of action on the jigs has slowed down alot over the last 3 years. More and more ppl go there and it changes the fishing action.
