i know fishing is good on a low pressure system and slow on a high pressure system. my question is what numbers are high (stay home and mow the yard) and which numbers are low (load up and hit the water asap)?

Most of the time in Texas the barometric pressure will hang around 29.8 to 30.2. A steady barometer of around 29.9 to 30.0 is usually conducive to decent fishing. It's usually true that an approaching frontal system and falling barometer will set off an aggressive bite, including the time the front is actually passing through if you can stand the cold, wind and rain. The one situation where you can just about count on tough fishing are on the post front side. Bright, bluebird clear skies, calm winds and a rapidly rising barometer after the clouds have all moved out are the ones I avoid if possible.

It's just my opinion, but I think fish don't like fast changes. So as long as the weather is consistant, they usually fall into a predictable pattern. I think the real problem with high pressure is bluebird skies, not so much the pressure.

I found that if you want to catch a lot of fish fish when the front is about to come in.
If you want to catch some big fish, then man up and fish the eye of the front.
The perfect barometric pressure is falling from a normal barometric pressure.
