Understanding How BAROMETRIC PRESSURE affects Fishing (High & Low Pressure)

Understanding BAROMETRIC PRESSURE affects Fishing (High & Low Pressure) – Learn how atmospheric pressure can affect the weather and your fishing day. In this video, I go through high pressure affects on fishing and low pressure affects on fishing. Keys things to look for and understanding which baits could help your bass fishing day be even better.

THANKS FOR WATCHING!

Great video! I had a rough understand of pressure before, but this really helped fill in some missing gaps in how I understood it!

Grandpa always told me to when you go to the bait shop before fishing go to the minnow tanks. If the minnows were all over the place in the tank it was going to be a tough day fishing. If the minnows were all balled together the fishing was going to be good. It works pretty damn well in my experience. Good video. Always watching pressure before fish, definitely helps

One of the best explanations I've heard about pressure and how it affects the fish

[mattgambill]

I fished yesterday. Nice day. Water temp was low 40s. Blue skies and 70⁰, but the barometric was almost 31. Skunked

[eagleeye]

The first thing that came to mind, when you mentioned putting weight on fish, I could not help but think of the walleye cheaters...

[richadams]

My work schedule is what determines when I go fishing.

[moncorp]

I'd always heard it the opposite. That fish come up higher during high pressure because there's less water weight on them. This was interesting.

[JayJohnson-rfbz]

Your technigue was the easiest explained and the easiest to throw. I went and threw a net getting my own bait and not having to pay for it for the very first time in my life. It was almost a spiritual moment for me. Felt good

[myclassiccarstory]

Great video. Always enjoy being able to learn new things to help me improve as a fisherman. Thanks!!!

I went below Keystone dam with a approaching snow storm.
The temperature had dropped rapidly and the air pressure had dropped almost 20 millibars in about 8 hours.
I filled a big cooler with stripers in about 45 minutes and got out of there before I got stuck.
I was using a large top water lure.
Great day of fishing.
Thank you for the video.

[bradkendrick]

Thanks for explaining that. I always get confused as to how to read the pressure and how it relates to the fish.

[luisvelez]

It is this simple when a storm front is coming go fishing and fish until it rains,

[robertbrost]

I started tracking pressure trends a while ago and notice that pressure drops, even small ones, leads to better fish activity whether the water is 45 degrees or 75. I don't mind a calm or bluebird day. I know the fish will be on the bottom and I can throw my Ned rig. The zero wind also allows me to feel every bite as there is no loop/slack in the line due to the wind blowing.

[ranayeem]

OMG! I thought I was doing something wrong on the “beautiful” days this winter and this video cleared that doubt for me. Thank you so much!

[ML-kslj]

I have caught probably 75 percent of my fish in the rain or snow storm or with one setting in. I slammed 21 coho bank fishing during a winter storm on gulp minnows.

You are correct about your findings. Changes in barometric pressure ARE indicative of things like temperature changes, wind, brightness, cloud cover, and more. But, water is essentially incompressible. So, to the extent air of any density is pushing down on much denser water . . . it'd just expand the surface area of the lake fractionally. So, anyway, barometric pressure DOES often signal changing weather events that DO affect fishing results. But, a definite no to fish down at any depth feeling more or less pressure because of air pressure. Tons of little science demos on the internet. One is water in a plastic sandwich bag with a drinking straw in it. If it is squeezed, the pressure doesn't collapse the straw, it shoots water out through the straw. Squeezing the bag reduces its volume, water squirts out to equalize the volume . . . just like a lake. Good vids, by the way!

[johnanglerfishtv]

just experiences this situation yesterday.far behind the hill i can see a rain is coming and black cloud moving.all of sudden, the bite rate increases so fast.we caught fish every 5-10minutes

[perryjenkins]

I dunno. . Water weighs a lot more than air. Do a check on how much pressure is on a fish at 8 ft below the water surface just from the weight of water versus just 2ft higher or lower in the water column and compare that with how much a low versus high atmospheric pressure really varies.

Here's the math.. a 1 inHg change in air pressure is 0.49 psi. For every 1 ft increment below the surface, the water column adds another 0.43 psi. I'm sure you'll agree that active fish will readily move at least a couple feet or more up and down in the water column when feeding. I don't believe the air pressure difference alone from a weather change is adequate to explain the change in fish feeding habit.

You know what’s my favorite pressure to fish at? Holiday!

[gentryboyce]

You spoke about open water but a lot of this definitely translates to ice fishing when you’re talking about jigs on bottom.
