Weather question (WARNING: LONG)

[Sea Flat]

Fog rules!! My favorite fishing conditions, I just feel that the fish stay in feeding mode later into the day.

I have never paid much attention to the barometer, but I know some say that before a storm that fish are more apt to be feeding. Having said that, I know of many instances where nice fish have been caught during storms.

Generally my father always used to say Spring-up, Fall-down in terms of lures. I really dont buy into this line of thinking although his logic is that in the Spring the water is not overly warm and the fish and bait are more apt to be towards the top of the water column where the sun warmed water is and vice versa in the Fall.

I've heard that line too, but I think it applies much more to lakes and ponds. Salt seems like the exception due to the moving water.

Totally in agreement.The last few days have certainly proven that.
