Henry,

I have long argued the same point you raised in your original post. A few
inches of depth change is all a bass would need to make to adjust for even
the widest variations in barometer. As far as what you may have read, it's
a good general rule to disregard any statement that opens with the words
"It's a well known fact that..."

This usually translates to "This is something that's unsubstantiated, but I
believe it, and I also believe that a lot of other people believe it, too."

For what it's worth, nearly 40 years of record keeping suggest to me that
barometric changes are felt most directly by the lowest life forms (the
bottom of the food chain).
