Check out the May-June 2016 issue of Tide magazine. Page 40 has an article called beyond the fall with a picture of a large flounder. There is some very good info on barometric pressure and fishing starting on page 41 if you can remember all of it.
By the way, the TIDE magazine is a bi-monthly publication that is free when you join the Coastal Conservation Association.
Most folks say it’s a rich persons organization, that is not true, they have made tremendous strides for coastal anglers.
I agree corkman, I’m a member and a committee chair. CCA is a great organization from the grassroots level and is very inexpensive to be a member and also help if anyone wants. Thanks for the post, I read that article too.

We had a tremendous bite Sat Morning between the rain. I thought of the pressures when we left. I am a believer.
I remember a while back Optiker posting about this. He referenced this link http://tidesonline.nos.noaa.gov/monitor.html and I’ve been keeping track of those stats to find trends, and it has definitely been helpful.
I saw that also. I think I am going to go no matter what. However I will hit the Trout spots first. It seems to affect them the most.
Tide magazine is awesome, I love it! It alone is worth the CCA membership price IMO.
No doubt pressure is significant, but it shouldn’t keep you off the water if you have the chance to go. Analysis Paralysis is an affliction

I learn more when I’m skunked then when I catch fish. Barometric pressure plays a role. One of these days I’m going to get a goldfish that will tell me better than a barometer
