Folks there is another thing to consider with a pressure change. If the baro goes up and puts more water pressure on the fish and it was already 15 foot deep it is not gong straight to the surface to take pressure off, as the fish rises the gas bladder expands and that does not make it feel better. So it is a matter of hours if not a full day before it makes a move like that. They are more apt to just hunker down for a while and let the body react to the change. Hence lockjaw is possible for a few hours. They can be very quick to adapt as they go through this process pretty often.

The time of year would also be a factor. Spring frontal changes have the biggest impact on fish. Winter from my experience work the water column and as someone else said go small after a front. Fall and Summer seem to be less a factor.

I don’t believe they do. They may hunker down deep into their Brushpile but when baitfish come thru there, they will eat. Better in deeper brush but they’re in the shallower brush too. They’ll be harder to see but very catchable. Be prepared to lose some jigs. Minnows are even worse as they wrap around a limb trying to get away. A lot of guys go to heavy braids in these situations but I don’t. Braid has a bigger tendency to break up a Brushpile while trying to get your fifty cent jig back.Originally Posted by TigerFanatic1
