    This is one thing Devin and I will never agree on.

    I can feel when the pressure drops. I’m tired when it falls and can feel it in my joints. When the pressure rises I can feel it in my sinuses and right behind my eyes and have headaches.

    Fish have to be affected by the same forces.

    I used to log every fish into a database marking wind / temps / pressure /moon / tide / etc. I had my own analytics company and so I had so cool tools at my disposal.

    When I finally started graphing the data, it was very telling. 1015 and 1016 hpa were at the top of the standard distribution curve.

    There’s old theories that suggest fish are programmed to eat as the pressure drops as it’s a precursor to nasty weather which will muddy the water making finding food more difficult.

    I don’t know.

    I ran the data myself and it said fish low pressure.

    Maybe the distribution followed the standard distribution range of pressures and so I was correlating the wrong fields, I dunno. But I’m pretty sure I cross referenced it by days on the water so who knows.
