Barometric pressure

I rarely, if ever post, but seeing the sticks comment, I had to. I was fishing Camp Nelson on Friday morning and noticed the sticks were vertical. I paid no attention to it until I read this post. I only caught 2 small largemouths that day. In the future, I may have to go back home when I see this.

Like most, I don't get as much oppurtunity to fish as I would like. If the pressure is high and the sticks are vertical, I just downsize, slow down, and/or try to fish tighter to cover. If that doesn't work I tie on a square billed crank and bump it into everything I can find. Whether the fish have a full feeling or not I have no clue, but a reaction strike is exactly that. Put it on their nose and eventually at least a couple aren't going to be able to resist the urge.
