once the weather stabilizes the fishing picks back up

even with high pressure, but the absolute worst days for me are the "nice days" right after a front "blue bird skies" and "high pressure" [:@]
the reasoning may have to do with the type water we fish, most fishing in the southeast (bass once again) is in shallow weed and stump infested water and fish become more active during a falling barometer, where the effects of the pressure change are noticed the quickest, pressure will be less affected (its already higher) in deeper water.. water clarity will also have a big impact on what depth the fish are utilizing, in a deep clear lake the change in barometric pressure would be less noticeable because fish in this enviroment will already be relateing to deeper structure than the would in a shallow, dingy water enviroment,also dirty water warms up quicker than clear water..
there are a bunch of factors that could play into this, if you can catch fish the day after a front, it should make catching them pre-frontal very easy, which would be a good thing
