Fish on days when your fish gauge has the inner bottle water falling. Fish are more prone to be active when the water in the inner bottle is falling or low. If there is a lot of water in the inner bottle, it means slow bite. Less or no water in the inner bottle indicates best times.
High Pressure: Typically means High skies or otherwise referred to as blue bird skies, clear with little to no clouds. Fish seem to become less active and will tend to move towards cover holding tight.
Rising Pressure: Fishing activity seems to improve somewhat with improving conditions.
Normal and Stable Pressure: The fish are active and feeding.
Falling Pressure: Changing weather brings the best fishing opportunities as the fish become the most active at this point.
Low Pressure: fish become less active during this cycle, weather can become rainy with storms.
It’s import however to understand this is only a guide line and fun little family project to help get the kids involved. There is nothing guaranteed in fishing as there are also other variables which help determine your fishing out come.

The mood of my wife lets me know when to go fishing.

Steve, I hope you are still reading some of these comments. I am a teacher in Southern Indiana. When I saw your video I thought it would be a great classroom experiment. I love to fishing and many of my students fish as well. They loved making the fishing gauge and they watch it daily. The only bad thing is that we can't go fishing when the fishing gauge says it is good!! Thanks man! Hope all is well!

I realize this is an older video, looks cool. Although I really don't need it, all I need is the urge to go fishing. Good fishing, bad fishing(if there is such a thing) it's all good to me.

I made one and now two...I remember my grandpa having one inn his kitchen window to go fishing by and he always caught fish 🎣 I’m 60 now was 10 back then lol 👍👍

I've known about these since the 60's when I saw it in my great grandmother's house, she told me all about it, have one to this day and it works!!
-
thanks steve with the tips and techniques ive picked up from you over the past year i believe this season will be the best so far good luck and thanks again

Hey Steve Thanks so much for sharing this. I have always been told the Barometer pressure plays a pretty big role in when fish are biting but I now have got to try one of these out. we've been fishing the Ohio River down around Marietta Ohio and the Muskingum River up near Zanesville Ohio and we've been pulling some nice Flatheads out bank fishing. love your videos I've sat down and really enjoyed watching them..Shaun

Nice ! The Best time to go fishing is whenever you can !
-
great, cheap and fun! will use this in the upcoming year. I am also going to share this with my boy scouts and let them have fun making this. keep making videos Steve! you have taken my catfishing to a whole new level. I cant thank you enough! always looking forward to your new posts. cant wait for the weather to turn around to start dragging and drifting again.

I never stop learning tricks of the trade thanks again for your knowledge you share with us!
-
This is fantastic! I'm going to make one right now and start paying attention to patterns with the weather. That way I might be able to guess the pressure while in the field.
-
Cant believe you done this vid my grand paw swore by his wow brought back alot of memories on this one lol
-
I did this about two weeks ago. Within a week, I could see a difference in the water level of the inner bottle. I've tried to check the level, everyday. I'm going to use this contraption more, in the coming months.
-
Thank you, I always check the Barometric report before going out, now I have my own homemade gauge. Thank you Steve Douglas, lookn forward to your 2015 videos, you have the best ones.

We have a saying in uk,a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work.
-
Lotsa people have those wall guages at home (temp, humidity, barometric pressure) but no one pays attention to them. Great way to interest kids about weather & science. (AND FISHING)
-
Okay, I gotta try this! Old school. It'd be great to keep a fishing log as well. See what you catch on the good days versus bad days and such.
-
That's a pretty cool idea and I never had any idea that barometric pressure affected the fishing I guess u learn something everyday
