I noticed my fish (silver perch) vary in their enthusiasm for their feed from day to day, and was wondering if anyone has been taking notice if there is any correlation to when fish in the wild are biting. Might be nice to feed your fish in the morning to see if its worth launching the boat :)

Perhaps I could market a magic boat launch indicator thats just a black box with a fish inside pressing a button to get fed. Enthusiastic feeding = green light. Could even make it autodial work to call in sick with a synthesized voice :roll:

Magic box aside, has anyone noticed any correlation?

Yep agree with Rupe on that one - certainly notice significant feeding before a storm front comes through.

Don't believe it's the only factor, but it's a good one in it's own right.

Normally the barometric pressure would be dropping before a storm front approaches which generally makes fish less likely to feed in the wild anyway.
Personally I find that the regulated feeding in aquaculture overides any natural influences that may effect fish feeding in the wild.

I agree Troutman... the pressure drop before the front arrives seems to send the fish off the bite... even in AP... from my experience...

Once the front arrives, they go back on the bite Chilli....

A lot of people don't necessarily make the correlation... as it can be a perfectly fine, clear day... when the pressure drops.... long before any signs of the front actually appear...

Gentlemen, you are correct, and that is certainly what I meant - not sure what happened between my brain and my fingers when typing that :crazy3:

I certenly did find that days when my fish were more active and eager to feed were good days to go fishing and i did use it as an indicater although I dont fish around these parts much at all now, I prefer to go north and go hard for a few weeks then it's kinda out of my system i guess? but I can say I have noticed that if my fish are more active and hungreyer than usual it's a good day to fish, you could try and check an almanack aganst your fishes behavior to see if there is a patern?

As for feeding in aquaculture, i notice no difference from day to day.

DO THOSE 18 DEATH FREE DAYS COINCIDE WITH GETTING THAT TOXIC PLANT OUT OF THE WAY?
