Barometric Pressure / Moon Phase Effect Fish!


Fish have very acute senses in relation to the current atmospheric pressure. For pike fishing falling low pressure indicates a good deadbaiting situation. When there is high barometric pressure live baiting will get you the bites.

The pressure also affects the weather, generally the higher the pressure the weather is sunny, and low pressure usually means windy with lots of rain!


It is also well known that the current moon phase can affect fishing success. Generally fish are most active when the sun or moon rises or sets. It is just knowing these times! There is an excellent article on moon phases at ArticleAlly.
