barometer

they say fishing improves just before or during a storm as the barometer drops. fish feed knowing the storm will make things tuff afterward.i have had mixed luck with pre storm fishing in the past.id love to try it this time but i think if i was out on the lake instead of battoning down the hatchs my wife might very well lock me out in it hahaha! my barometer reading tonight is dropping fast! wouldnt wanna be out on the water when the winds and rain hit heavy, but man hope it dont muddy the lake up for a month.

Since I've already prepped for the storm, which will most likely just be heavy rains, I'll test out this theory (which I've also heard before) this afternoon/evening. I'll let you know on the sucess.

I wish there was some way to be on the lake today.... I bet it will be good fishing. The day before the big storm hit last Dec.... the fish were hitting everything you tossed at them. It was wild action.
( I saw some schooling fish in the County Yard and Shriners area )

Be sure to post pictures of all your Pre-Storm catch.

dammit! the wife trumped me and piled every outdoor item in,on and around my boat in the garage while i was at work! just in case i decided to sneak out. im jealous, maybe ill have to paddle my surfboard out on the lake!

Well don't feel bad, you didn't miss nothing. I caught 3 Tucs, a catfish, and a red devil. My father-in-law caught two Tucs, one of them being a 4#. I think since they lowered the lake 4+ feet almost overnight, that screwed with the fishing. People probably thought we were crazy driving torwards the lake as it was getting dim and cloudy, but the weather held out for us.

guess the fish knew better than the national weather service about the storm being a bust.
