Below I will explain in more detail and specificity the effect of air pressure on fishing and how to choose the right time to fish according to air pressure.
1. The direct effect of air pressure on fishing
Air pressure is one of the important factors affecting fishing, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
The amount of dissolved oxygen in the water: Changes in air pressure directly affect the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water body. When the air pressure increases, the oxygen in the atmosphere is more likely to be pressed into the water, which increases the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water. Conversely, when the air pressure decreases, oxygen in the water may escape into the air, resulting in a decrease in the amount of dissolved oxygen.
Activity of fish: An increase in the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water increases the activity of the fish. At higher air pressures, fish will feel more comfortable, swim more often, and forage more aggressively. At low atmospheric pressure, the fish may become inactive due to lack of oxygen or even rise to the surface to breathe.
Fishing success rate: Since the activity and foraging behavior of the fish are affected by air pressure, the success rate of fishing will vary accordingly. In the right air pressure range (usually 990 to 1005 hPa), the success rate of fishing tends to be higher. And when the air pressure is too low or too high, fishing can become relatively difficult.
2. How to choose the right fishing time
After understanding the effect of air pressure on fishing, we can choose the right fishing time according to the following points:
Keep an eye on the weather forecast: Check the barometric pressure information in the weather forecast before planning a fishing activity. If the forecast shows that the air pressure is within the right range, then this may be a good time to fish.
Observe the reaction of the fish: During the actual fishing process, you can observe the reaction of the fish to determine whether the air pressure is appropriate. If the fish bites frequently and actively, the current air pressure conditions are good. Conversely, if the fish does not bite aggressively or rises to the surface to breathe, it may mean that the air pressure is low or not suitable for fishing.
Combined with other environmental factors: In addition to air pressure, other environmental factors such as wind direction, wind force, temperature, humidity, etc. should also be considered on fishing. For example, fishing in moderate winds and moderate temperatures may go more smoothly.
3. Summary and Suggestions
To sum up, air pressure is one of the important factors affecting fishing. In order to increase the success rate and fun of fishing, the following suggestions are made:
Pay attention to the barometric pressure information in the weather forecast when choosing a fishing time;
Adjust your strategy by observing the fish's reactions during the actual fishing;
A variety of environmental factors are taken into account to choose the best time and place for fishing
Continuously learn and accumulate fishing experience to better adapt to the challenges of fishing in different environments.
