Walleye and pressure changes/cold front?

[brdhunter]

I remember reading something about walleyes are affected by pressure changes. This boggles my mind as the pressure underwater would far outway the slight pressure change above water (how can they feel this above water pressure change?). Many people also say the walleye don't feed during a cold front/pressure change. I will agree I don't catch as many eyes during a coldfront but can still catch a few. Everyday is different regarding the walleye bite, and it is nearly impossible to completely understand the patterns of walleye. What are your experiences with cold fronts and walleyes? Or warm fronts and walleyes? Or do we have any biologists here that could explain how they feel these pressure changes? Any insite would be appreciated....

I like my weather to be stable for as many days as possible to get the best possible bite. I don't care if it is a cold or warm front just as long as the barometric pressure stays the same within a few points because when you see big changes you will see changes in how aggressive or negative the bite is. The fishing will be better right before a front comes in but I hate how negative the fish bite or lack there of when it passes. I personal feel the all animals feel pressure more then humans do because it is par of there survival instinct.

On the waters I fish rising/falling pressure definitly affects the bite. Not so much early ice, but usually from this time of year on out.
