i have looked...with no avail

[Bassin_Dude]

i have spent some time lookin at the articles at bassresource, and at this site for info about barometric pressure. i know that during cold fronts this is what plays a big role. what i want to know is... when the barometric pressure drops, do bass have lockjaw, or do they go into a feeding frenzy, and if it rises vice versa? now i have been up since 4:30, so if i overlooked the article on this, just point me in the right direction. also, can someone post a site with all the knots, so i can save it to my favorites? i want to learn the loop knot, along with some others. thanks for all the help.

The barometer tends to drop right before a "storm" and this sends not only fish, but many animals into a drive to fill their bellies.

Bass like to come out when the clouds roll out because it is harder for birds and other animals to see them. If it rains, baitfish get attracted to the surface, which in turn attracts bass.

I don't know if they go into a feeding frenzy, but they are more active when the barometer is low. The high barometer is usually what you get post frontal-bluebird skies and strong north winds, and lockjaw.

What he said, but as for the cold fronts. Those are somewhat different. It drives the air and water temps down, even if you have a high or low pressure going on. I don't know exactly why the fish do this on a technical basis. But I do know to me it's the hardest time to catch bass in the shallower areas. It doesn't however affect the deeper fish nearly as much. Because it can't get the temps down there changing to much. I can say this from experience. But it still doesn't keep me from going fishing

It's made my favorites. I tie the Non Slip Loop Knot to my poppers and sometimes crankbaits.
