Team Otter Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I don't know so much about times to fish but when the pressure is low (or falling), I focus more on sandy breaklines or grassy flats (i.e. harder bottom areas) and vice-versa when the pressure is high (or rising).

CNY Tim Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 under 29 the crappie and bluegill fishing is fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JigginIsLife Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 well i know somone here has more information about it than i do but the jist of it that i have gotten is that the lower the pressure, the more micro-nutrients that are able to float around in the water. the more micro-nutrients in the water column then the more baitfish, and finally the more baitfish the more active fish tend to be. this is what i have gathered from my readings but im sure if you search on here for bari pressure you will find something.

dan z Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I always find it better when it is falling but I never dont go when its high or stable the fishing is just tougher when in these areas of the bari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishing for walleyes Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I have one spot ice fishing that when the barometer is dropping and back on the rise the big walleyes come feeding in this spot.It is a 14 foot hole and the rest of the lake is 10 foot max depth.Last december we caught a 5.8 lber and a 7.3.A couple years ago i took a freind out to this spot with the same cicumstances and he caught a total of 9 big walleyes.He was using my fishing poles as well.I caught zippo that night.He never lets me live that one down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
