By: Mepps. You probably wonder why…. Read More. There's no simple answer to the question, "Why do fish bite"? Many variables…. Lake Superior's Chequamegon Bay Smallmouth. When it's hot and the barometer is pushed to its limits, I prefer to fish a single hookbait.
I will also add a small PVA stick with a plain mielie bomb mix to attract a curious wondering carp, rather than trying to get them on the feed. Hookbaits are normally the same, as I favour big hookbaits. I fish a 22mm boilie with a 15mm popup, 99 percent of the time.

Otto Kruger Weather conditions play a big part in carp fishing, and will influence the water temperature, wind directions, air pressure and oxygen concentrations within the water. Wynand Roest I always try to paint a picture in my head when going fishing, and take different factors into the equation before deciding when and where is best to fish.
Wind and rain can help induce the carp to feed, as dissolved oxygen levels rise due to the turbulence caused in the water. A slight breeze or wind is a good thing, however if the South Easter starts blowing more than five metres per second, fishing can become extremely challenging. Wijan Pretorius Guest Contributor Weather forecasts will certainly not keep me at home when the opportunity arises.

Fish are just like people in that they prefer certain kinds of weather over others. Some fish hate the rain and wind and will go deeper under water. Others such as trout and sunfish are insect-eating fish. When it rains, insects get knocked into the water, so these fish will be biting more and staying close to the surface in a downpour.
Fish like large mouth bass will come closer to the banks if it is windy. This is because small bait fish such as sunfish will be pushed toward the bank with the wind, or will follow insects blown to the bank. The bass eat the small fish that are in turn eating the insects.
Contrary to popular belief, nice weather is not always the best fishing weather. On hot days, fish can become listless. Since there are not as many insects buzzing the water because of the heat, fish usually go deeper into cooler waters.
This is one of the reasons why people tend to fish early in the morning or early in the evening during the summer. When a cold front is coming in and begins to displace the heat, fish will bite more than any other time.
Bass fishing is popular in the winter.
