Hows the weather for fishing? need some help

Featured Replies

today im taking my buddy whos a pretty avid fisherman to my "spot". its a small pond down the street with a few real nice bass. every time ive been there ive caught something, and there was a point where i was fishing it every day.

the last 2 weeks here have been bone dry and around 80 degrees, with high pressure. the longer we went without rain, the less fish i caught, and the smaller they were. last night it POURED, and cleaned alot fo the scum off the top of the pond. today is pretty hot and humid, and im taking the kid fishing around 4-5. do you think we have a giid chance at catching fish? is there any other things i should look for weather wise no matter where im fishing? i have read that when a front comes through the fish dont bite, but im not really sure what fornts mean what and the differnce between high and low pressure area affects on fish.

thanks guys

Fishing is generally good before and during a storm. The rule of thumb is a good bite on a steady or falling barometer, a poor bite during rising pressure. I fish ponds a lot, but I rarely fish after a storm and I never catch much when I do. Ponds are significantly and negatively affected by runoff.

I don't know the depth and size of the pond.  But in Texas I have seen ponds that have an abundance of bass, but are only 10ft deep or less,  I have fished on a pond that produces 8lb bass from 3 acres from fall until june.  You might catch a few during the  dog days, but no size.  The Texas Parks and Wildlife said " The pond was, is defficient in oxygen.  The heat has depleated the oxygen levels in the water.  The fish are conserving energy and not feeding due to the poor water quality."    he also said that all the bass are buried under neath the grass mats were the only source of oxygen is produced.  There was no run offs,  Their recommendation was to put an aerator in the pond.
