I wanna fish Twok in the next few days before this next front. Seems like the fish arent as active in a still wind although as we all know it makes things easier.

I would try both if possible. If I had to choose I would be on the falling pressure day.

One pro online says the worst days to fish are a falling pressure day, think I'll go Tuesday.

Ha.....just found another dude that said just the opposite in his article. I'm gonna try to pay attention to it going forward but not plan my trips around it. Gotta find the damn things first. Twok tues. Gonna start deep.

read something on here before about a balloon and a fishes stomach. high pressure fills up the balloon=not hungry. low pressure lets air out of the balloon-makes room for food.
that has stuck with me and its the only way i can remember it.
Fish a lot, catch a little

that has stuck with me and its the only way i can remember it. I could be wrong...but if there is a high barometric pressure, wouldn't the high pressure cause the air bladder to shrink from the high pressure pushing against it? And then with low pressure since there isn't near as much pressure as their was, I would think that it would cause the air bladder to expand from lack of force from pressure. Alot like when you catch a catfish in deep water you need to "burp" the fish since the water pressure decreases as you reel the fish in and he gets closer to the surface which causes the air bladder to expand and the fish cannot release enough air fast enough which can cause the fish's stomach to protrude into its mouth.. .maybe I'm wrong, but it makes sense to me...I think that any rapid or drastic change in a catfishs environment in a short period will cause the bite to stop due to catfish needing to adjust and stabilize due to their body's sensitivity to so many conditions of their environment...a lot like when the bite turns off for a few days due to the lake the fish are in starting releasewater from its spillway...just my $0.02

In other words, for every 32.5 feet of water you descend you will experience an additional 1 atmosphere of pressure. I've never been convinced that barometric pressure has much to do with fish behavior. Now wind direction/speed and cloud cover, yes, I've noticed correlations. And solunar varitions. But like the comment above, I pretty much go when I can.
You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free

I read a very detailed article evaluating the effect of barometric pressure on fish from a scientific point of view.The long story short , the amount of air pressure change, that it would take to affect the pressure of water to a noticeable level by fish would be tremendous, the amount of pressure change they see by moving up or down 1 foot in the water column was greatly more than a full point of the baramoter would make. Bottom line was that it was very unlikely fish ever notice a change in the baramoter but more likely are affected but the weather conditions associated with pressure change.
I will see if I can locate the article and post it up, much better explanation than I provided.
Catch and release into the grease!

Consistent pressure whether its low are high is the key! Quick rises, and quick drops are the problem.

I was researching it last night and read that as well...which makes sense as to why shallow water catfish are more affected by cold fronts than deeper catfish are...shallow water cools off quicker..so quick that the temperature change either drives the fish deeper or gives them lockjaw due to the drastic temp change kinda r like a shock effect...
