"The Science of Fishing: Understanding Weather and Water Conditions... or How to Blame Mother Nature for Your Lack of Catch"
Have you ever gone fishing and caught nothing? Don't worry, it's not your fault... it's the weather and water conditions! And with a little bit of science, you can learn how to blame Mother Nature for your lack of catch.
Air Pressure: Air pressure affects fish behavior. When the air pressure is high, fish are more likely to bite. When the air pressure is low, fish are less likely to bite. So, be sure to check the barometer before you head out. And if you don't catch anything, blame it on the barometer!
Water Temperature: Water temperature affects fish metabolism. When the water is warm, fish are more active. When the water is cold, fish are less active. So, be sure to check the thermometer before you head out. And if you don't catch anything, blame it on the thermometer!
Water Clarity: Water clarity affects fish vision. When the water is clear, fish can see you. When the water is murky, fish can't see you. So, be sure to check the water clarity before you head out. And if you don't catch anything, blame it on the water clarity!
Wind Direction: Wind direction affects fish movement. When the wind is blowing in, it pushes baitfish towards shore. When the wind is blowing out, it pushes baitfish away from shore. So, be sure to check the wind direction before you head out. And if you don't catch anything, blame it on the wind direction!
Cloud Cover: Cloud cover affects fish behavior. When it's sunny, fish are more likely to be near the surface. When it's cloudy, fish are more likely to be near the bottom. So, be sure to check the cloud cover before you head out. And if you don't catch anything, blame it on the cloud cover!
Moon Phase: Moon phase affects fish behavior. When the moon is full, fish are more likely to bite. When the moon is new, fish are less likely to bite. So, be sure to check the moon phase before you head out. And if you don't catch anything, blame it on the moon phase!
Tides: Tides affect fish behavior. When the tide is coming in, fish are more likely to bite. When the tide is going out, fish are less likely to bite. So, be sure to check the tide before you head out. And if you don't catch anything, blame it on the tide!
Currents: Currents affect fish behavior. When the current is strong, fish are more likely to be near structure. When the current is weak, fish are more likely to be in open water. So, be sure to check the current before you head out. And if you don't catch anything, blame it on the current!
Solunar Tables: Solunar tables predict fish behavior based on the position of the sun and moon. According to solunar tables, there are two "feeding times" each day when fish are most likely to bite. So, be sure to check the solunar tables before you head out. And if you don't catch anything, blame it on the solunar tables!
And finally, Mother Nature: Mother Nature affects everything. When she's in a good mood, the fish will bite. When she's in a bad mood, the fish won't bite. So, be sure to bring along some good luck and a positive attitude. And if you don't catch anything, blame it on Mother Nature!
