I know , Steve. I fish usually when rational beings are at home. The bite is tougher on a high barometric pressure day. The fish usually need more coaxing to strike and being where the fish are in the first place is critical , of course. You had a good day and probably had a better feel of where the fish would be due to your experience and time on the water recently, net working, etc. I went out Sunday and found only one place where I had some bite... I'm not doing the midbay armada thing even if it means not catching fish. I'd rather invest my time doing recon than that mess. I could tell the bite was more tentative, short strikes, not aggressive. Maybe a more skilled angler, like yourself , would have landed more fish if we were fishing next to each other, but, that's another reason why I go... to look , see, try, and learn. Like you say , nothing beats time on the water to become a better fisherman. Besides, I love it so I'd rather go even if I knew ahead of time I wouldn't get one strike !!

I thought that I remembered you going on some less than perfect days. Speaking of Matagorda, we need to get down there soon. It has been good. Give me a call this week and let's figure out the details.http://www.theshallowist.com

I hear the shallow water fish are affected by barometric pressure, best=low pressure. Offshore fishing,deep, not affected.
I have experienced the fish going nuts during a rain, low pressure, quit a few times. And I have seen fish right in front of me on a beautiful day, high pressure, and couldn't get them to hit a bait tossed right in front of them. The latter one really gets me........Fishwhisperer
