Bass are always biting somewhere...it's our job to find somewhere.

Yes bass are always biting somewhere and there will always be people that catch bass in conditions that most do not like to fish in. For example lots of people complain about bass fishing in the Summer in South Florida yet I do well in the Summer. People need to go fishing when they are able to and do their best to figure out what the bass what on that particular day.

This is another one of those topics that seems to be impossible to prove with believers at both extremes (fits the bias post).  To me, there are just too many variables to be able to isolate the singular effects of barometric pressure or moon phase and I’m thankful for that.  If fishing were paint by numbers, I wouldn’t find it nearly as enjoyable.  I don’t use either to determine whether I go fishing but I do look at both when I do go fishing, just like I look at water temp, level, and previous weeks weather.

The topic hasn’t changed since 2006 and multiple other posts on this site since discussing this topic.

Moon phase affect most animals during mating periods and barometric pressure affects weather that directly affects animal behavior.
