Has anyone noticed any relationship between fishing success and barometric pressure? I've heard low pressure (or at least a falling barometer) is prime fishing weather. Thoughts?

I've found that a falling barometer has usually made for better fishing. I almost hate to go fishing on one of those beautiful, sunny, bluebird, high-pressure days. The absolute, no competition best day of bass fishing I ever had was on an overcast day with intermittent light showers. The bass were on a frenzy all day and I lost count early.
low barrametric pressure usually draws bad weather, the deer feed like crazy before its gonna storm.
falling barrometric pressure indicates a "low pressure system." Low pressure systems adn high pressure systems allways try to even themselves out creating wind (which is how storms and wind are created. its generally thought that low pressure systems suck (literally) storms toward themselves.
ever go hunting just before a major snow storm? hunt food plots hard!!!
Look at it thru a fishes eye, your swimming around with a high presure overhead, kinda depressed that all the bait fish is hunkered up in the brush an wont come to play, the water pressure is hurting ur head. Then a low pressure system comes your way, Falling pressure means no more headache, the baitfish start moving and all of the sudden Mr Fish is happily crusing the banks, looking for Mr Rapalla.

it works the same way for fish too...
Holey smokes. Don't leave home without your barometer.
Any opportunity to grab a pole and wet a line is a great time to go fishing.

I always check the barometric pressure and solunar tables before going.
