air pressure.
---------------
Air pressure can play a big part in your choice of baits when fishing for pike, so it could be worth investing in a barometer, especially as many other species are also affected.
When the pressure is high or rising, pike are likely to be far more active and livebaits can work well. If the air pressure is low, deadbaits are well worth a go.
barbel and temperature.
---------------------------
Barbel can be very sensitive to water temperature changes, and it is the amount of change that is important rather than the actual temperature.
When the temp is rising, barbel should be feeding, but any rapid fall can be the kiss of death. A rise from 42 to 44 degrees would often be better than a fall from, say from, 52 to 48.
carp and wind.
---------
One of the best times for carp to feed is a south-westerly wind, which often means warmer weather.
It can really get them moving and is worth fishing on the end of, unlike colder winds.
One of the effects of a strong wind is that it can encourage fish to leave the sanctuary of reedbeds, as they are unsettled by constantly being nudged by the moving stems, so they can often be tempted to take a bait presented in open water close to the edge of the reedbeds etc.
light.
-------
Light levels can affect some species far more than others, and probably none more than the perch.
It is a pretty common to sit in a swim all day that is seems to be devoid of fish and then to hook one after another as the light starts to go at dusk.
So make sure that you are able to fit an isotope to your float or indicator to make the most of the feeding feeding spell into darkness.
On cloudy days, it can be possible to catch them all day.
thought ide expand my knowledge on these species because lately,pike,carp perch seem to be on the menu and ive posted enough on chub and barbell and gave you all me tipsters.im running out now aswell.i was just sat here doing nothing so thought ide post these........sad life innit when you lot are dreaming about fishing and im sat ere posting about it lol,really starting to think im a bat pmsl.
