wonder why???
good day tho…

:sunglasses:It’s the low pressure system… When these things come in, or you are only a day or two out of one or inbetween storms coming in (i.e. one just came in a day or two ago and another is coming in in a day or two) the fishing generally sucks at U.L. Same during ice fishing there or freshwater fishing. I think it has something to do with the shallow water and the pressure (barametric) changing greatly affects the fishing there more than it does at deeper water lakes.

im goin to strawberry next weekend… i heard its good fishin there…

Been lurkin here for only about a year, but i have noticed that when we have, or are near a full moon, a lot of the posts start being pretty negative about the fishing success – who knows–

I totally agree with you the barametric pressure makes a big difference on how the fish bite .Many a times i have been out on the ocean and not a bite and its the same with fresh water .
