How
weather affects the inshore fishing experience
Understanding
weather will give us a bigger piece of the puzzle of fish
behavior than any other single factor. From the number of
fish caught, to the safety and comfort of a trip, the weather
is a big factor. Understanding a front's make up, its origin
and the weather it brings is a key in predicting fishing
conditions. Cold fronts have the biggest negative effect.
High pressure, unusually high winds, always-high blue skies.
Warm fronts are the fish catching fronts. Cloudy weather,
dropping barometer, south to west winds are the predominant
conditions. After several days of any constant weather,
fish will become acclimated to the conditions and return
to normal activity. Passing fronts cause changes that affect
fishing the most. |
