I’m planning on hitting up Twak this upcoming weekend but am debating between going in the morning or afternoon, and it caused me to have a question.

How responsive do ya’ll feel like striper and sandies are to barometric pressure? Is there a certain point where they “shut down”? I know general rule of thumb is that fish prefer lower/falling pressure. What’s been your experience?

I don’t put a lot of emphasis on it. I have caught fish either way. The for sure way I know I am not going to catch anything is if I don’t go.

I found this from a TFF post a while back. What I do know is when the lake is slick its hard to get a striper or white to bite live shad in the warm months and flukes in the winter time. Had one day of falling pressure that was the exception to this.

If one looks at the practical applications of Boyles Law, the drastic pressure changes and how that affects a fishes swim bladder make sense !

Yes, fish have to eat ! There is always an exception ! Once pressure stabilizes over a course of two days, the fish will forage and feed !

I am by no means an expert on this, simply find thru 50 years of experience my optimum times on the water ! And a little due diligence .
