Barometer made a bit of difference this year, East wind did and has for years in Tidal water, but the two seem to coincide. High pressure seemed to push the fish off the banks and the ones that did shoot by didn't bite. Upper rivers the east wind had me into more fish for the last 2 years than most other days.

I quit checking before I go fishing about 5 years ago. Now I check after I get home just to see if there is a trend. Not staying home because of anything but sideways blowing rain if I have a chance to go fishing.
