    I am assuming you are talking about barometric pressure. And in the spring and early summer the bite will nearly always be best on a falling or low pressure situation. For example fish seem to bite well right before a front moves in ( falling barometer, low pressure) . But in the dog days of summer when a high pressure is the norm for several hot sunny days the fish will bite during the high pressure days, sometimes the fishing will be red hot during those times.

    Low pressure fish will bite better, of course. Fish that have been pressured have normally seen almost everything, and are much much harder to catch than a fish that is seeing say a spinnerbait or crankbait for the first time.

    Fish the transition between the two. They get active on the change.

    When a front comes in, fish both sides of it.

    What do you mean by pressure? do you mean barometric pressure, which is a very important factor in fishing. Or do you mean the fishing pressure; as in the amount people that fish for them?
