Pressure range indicating incoming clouds or rain. Fish tend to be more active, making it a favorable condition for fishing.

Typical pressure range. The direction of pressure change (rising or falling) affects fishing more than the absolute value.

Clear weather under high pressure. Fish swim bladders compress, causing fish to sink deeper. Target dawn/dusk or tidal movements.

Strong high pressure. Fish tend to stay near the bottom with reduced activity. Slow presentations near structure are effective.

When pressure is stable, fish activity is also stable. Neither particularly good nor bad conditions - tides and time of day become more important factors.

When pressure rises, swim bladders compress, causing fish to sink deeper. During high pressure clear weather, fish tend to stay near the bottom with reduced activity.
