even minor barometric pressure changes affect a fish’s swim bladder.
This air-filled sac is to a fish what the inner ear is to humans. When
the barometric pressure rises quickly, it exerts pressure upon the
bladder, thus affecting the fishes equilibrium making it hard for the
bass to maintain perfect balance. Naturally, this affects their
behavior and appetite."

This is an old article by Bill. Ask him today, and I bet he has changed his
mind on the subject.

As far a Z's statement. I can understand his reasoning. For with wind
increases (typical on a falling barometer) the water is stirred more by
waves, creating the food chain to react accordingly. High barometric
pressure, typically associated with High Fronts, usually are associated with
bluebird skies, calm winds and water. Well that is, if the storm associated
with most changes in fronts, didn't cause flooding or dam operators to
increase water discharge, which increase the current (my favorite situation
being a smallmouth angler).
