Barometric Pressure

My best fishing has been when the barometer bottoms out right before a big blow.

agreed, its almost like they gorge before the lows...

[Dixie719]

Ditto...

So do you ever look before deciding to go out given it's high, low, climbing falling??

I'm starting to really be choosy when I fish sometime and was curious if others do the same or just go when you can go!

[Charkbait]

There are times when the conditions line up and I'll do whatever it takes to get out. Like a front, the right wind and tide lining up.

Other then that if I planned to go I go fish, you don't get the days back so go when you can...

For example I may plan 5-6 days out during spring and fall drum fishing. I will be very selective around conditions for those 5 or 6 days. However if I'm on vacation I'll go fish regardless of imperfect conditions.

For me, it depends on the Species.
For Reds, I like a dropping barometer with an incoming tide mid way up.
Stripers, basically just before the start of snotty weather.
Summer Charks, sunny and warm.

If I get a sudden urge or have planned a trip, I go no matter the conditions.
So the answer to the question is, both.
Thanks for posting it Steve...

I have never really noticed a difference. Catch on all conditions except N/W wind on AI. I do like a nice east wind a few days in a row for stripers.
