That's the bluebird sky days that are "super tough" at times.
Best thing that I do is downsize,slowdown, and fish cover thoroughly:)

HOW DOES THE PRESSURE AFFECT THE FISHING? I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO LOOK FOR OR NOT TO LOOK FOR. THANKS
That's the bluebird sky days that are "super tough" at times.

Blue bird days are high pressure days and can be slow the first day or two after a front but then stabilize. Some of my best catches were during low pressure days or a warm front just north or pushing up. But this doesn't always work for me. Lots of variables besides barometric pressure to consider.
Falling barometric pressure indicates an approaching front, normally. As a result fish tend to put on the feeding bag. The way I understand it is the rising pressure and the high pressure days of the bright blue bird skies tend to turn fish off. Why? There are different theories. Some believe that the brighter sunshine exposes the fish to predetors such as predatory birds, so the fish will stay closer to cover to find shelter from being eaten. Another thought is the increased pressure tends to affect the bass much more than what we humans feel, and somehow interacts with the internal mechanisms of the bass to shut down the aggressive feeding activity. However, you can still find a few active fish, and you can also target cover. you may have to hit the fish in the nose with the bait.
Now knowing all that, and then implementing it is something else completely.
Good luck,
