traded in my truck last fall for this van. its taken me all year building to get it to where she is now. but it has allowed me so many adventures. the first trip in it was to go fish with B-Lat in the spring, it was only half built then. took the wife to Maine and got to fish new water farther away from home. I've already started planning my adventures for next year. Fishing with Darrel in Florida in February, and Wisconsin with Kevin in July. I would like to go fishing with a few other SUF members during the season. if your interested let me know. My boat or yours. Your body of water.

Every scientific report I’ve seen, in which barometric pressure was studied, reached a similar conclusion: no direct relationship is evident. This consistency results mainly because no way has been found to isolate barometric pressure influences from simultaneous weather phenomena. We need observations of fish behavior when air pressure changes are the only variable. But significant barometric changes are rare without accompanying changes in wind, temperature, and sky conditions.

We await any scientific information or interpretation that better explains the relationship between gamefish behavior and changes in air pressure, when isolated from the confounding effects of weather conditions. Until a biologically reasonable mechanism is proposed, we think it's more reasonable and likely more accurate to consider weather and sky conditions rather than barometric pressure in explaining fish activity and inactivity. *Ralph Manns, Rockwall, Texas, is a fishery scientist and angling authority
