I've fished Michigan lakes for sixty years, and in this video I count down the 20 weather signs that decide your day before you ever tie a knot. Not one of them costs a dollar, which is exactly why nobody sells them to you.
In this video:
Why the walleye chop puts fish shallow while the calm side sits empty
The truth about the windy bank (the wind does not blow baitfish anywhere)
Why the second day after a cold front is the killer, not the first
What the barometer actually tells you, and what it does not
The temperature ladder that decides which fish is even catchable this week
Why dawn is not the magic hour everyone swears it is
The tackle aisle cannot sell you a thermometer reading or a west wind, so it sold you a fourth crankbait instead. The old anglers watched the sky and went home with fish.
Two safety notes I take seriously: leave the water on the 30-30 lightning rule, and go easy on catch and release once the water is 70 degrees or warmer. As always, check your state's fishing regulations, they differ everywhere and they change.
What is the ugliest weather day you ever had great fishing on? Tell me below, I read every comment.
