In the end, most of the theories come to the same conclusion. When barometric pressure is at a high, bass fishing will be at a low, especially in shalloÂ­w waters, where changes in pressure are more easily felt. [source: Adams ] Some say that the bass swim bladder is sensitive to changes in air pressure. Â­When barometric pressure is high, the swim bladder feels increased pressure and the fish becomes slow and tired.
Barometric pressure is the weight of the overlying air pressing down on the earth. It is also known as air pressure. Low barometric pressure means the overlying air is rising, whereas high pressure means the overlying air is sinking. Barometric pressure has important effects on water chemistry and weather conditions. It affects the amount of gas that can dissolve in water. More gas, such as oxygen, can dissolve in water under higher pressure when compared to lower air pressure. For instance, more oxygen is dissolved in water at sea level than at high altitudes. The pressure of the overlying air forces more gas into solution. As the overlying pressure decreases, gas is released from solution.
