How does Barometric Pressure affect Fishing?

[wiperhunter2]

Hey Joe, do you by chance subscribe to In-Fisherman? They post a Solunar calendar in their magazine that also shows, minor and major times of the day when catching is suppose to be the best, like today those times are: 12:09am-2:09am and 12:31pm-2:31pm. Also they tell you when to fish by Moon phase, this week they are saying the best time to fish is during the Full Moon and a couple of days after the full moon. Since I've just started to subscribe to In-Fisherman, I don't know if this is normal or not but I've always heard the same thing you stated, catching is poor for several days before and after a full moon. I know at times all this info talked about on this thread can help pick which days to go fishing but I followed all this advice for over a year, several years back and while at times it seemed to be spot on, I also fished at times when everything did not alien and it pointed to it being poor catching but I did good. So IMO, if you want to go fishing a certain day, go, but it you don't catch fish, look at the charts and blame it on one of them but if you do good, then who cares what the charts say[].
