It seems for some reason, talking to quite afew lads who have been out and expecting to catch with the good seas running, there has been little ciught the last few nights. Thats fishing for you, anybody got the answer

How about this. It is my experience that there are always fewer fish caught in what would appear perfect conditions when the sea is the result of HIGH pressure, (as it is now) rather than LOW pressure. I think that lower pressure on the waters surface gives fish the impression of being in deeper water, perhaps particularly important on our shallow beaches.

Its not just plausible, its one of the factors I take into account when I'm making my mind up where to have a chuck.
Its something my old man told me to keep a check on when gannin out.
I now have a weather station in the kitchen and I swear by it.
Over the last 4 years I have kept a diary of my fishing trips (at least once a week) and one of the things I record is the air pressure.
Pressure does seem to have a marked effect on different fishing marks at different stages of the tide.
Maybe I have got it all wrong but hey wateva works for u

i did that for a good few years, especially for baot fishing, you think you are getting a pettern, then, oooot the window it goes, everything goes back to front. I agree that pressure does have an effect, but why for ages should low be better than high then all of a sudden it changes, mind not for long. Always found wether, coarse, game or sea fishing foggy conditions are poor even with good sea conditions.

Totally agree with you alan re foggy conditions. Fished this coast and the SW coast of Scotland, been catching fish then the fog drops and nothing!

I can't think of a more perfect scenario than being up the skeers somewhere, with the weirs showing, with a gentle roll on and the fog really thick. Makes you feel as though there's no-one else in the world. Catch rates in those conditions I'm not sure of. What I do remember is fishing Tynemouth Pier one night (not something I do often) when Miss Fenwick started up. Frightening or what - sounded like a nuclear war and the end of the world all in one.

If you log onto the Metcheck Fishing 5 day weather forecasts, it shows the temperature, pressure, wind direction and speed and also predicts the catch rate. This seems to tie in with low pressure as has been mentioned earlier.
The link below gives the forecast for Tyne & Wear.

Just remember High pressure blows wind round clockwise on the isobar maps (LESS FISH) and Low pressure blows wind round anticlockwise meaning (MORE FISH) ---probably

Funny you should mention "foggy conditions"........
Went out to Shields pier tonight, hoping that the recent big sea was still on.......FLAT calm
Never mind......still had quite a canny night (by my standards....lol)
Lovelly clear, starry night:
caught 4 whiting, 1 coley, 1 flounder and 1 codling (all were just under size, apart from the flounder) - all returned. A busy night...lol
THEN.......around 00:30....the fog decended.....all went quiet and not another bite.....packed up and came home.
I'll have to keep an eye on this fog, theory
