@Devin another thing Buck Perry says is not to think about weather in terms of TEMPERATURE, but rather in terms of LIGHT. As in how much light will there be during the day based off the cloud cover, pre-frontal conditions, overcast, foggy, or on the opposite end: will it be bluebird skies or not? His theory as that light affects the fish behavior more than anything.
So to add to what @cliffhall and @ShooterMcGrabbin are saying, perhaps the light conditions associated with low barometric pressure (oftentimes overcast, cloud cover, rainy, foggy, etc) have the fish more active and migrating and feeding more. As opposed to a high barometric pressure day where its bluebird skies and sunny as all get out, Buck Perry says the fish migrate and feed less on those days.
I’ve seen that video Shooter posted about CA, and that definitely made me start looking at it more and just paying attention to it. But like anything with fishing, I don’t think it’s an end all be all metric to lose sleep over.
This is a great topic and thread by the way.
