Anyone ever use a fishing barometer before. Do you have to look at it every day or hour to keep track if its falling or rising?

Well, I have never used that one, but I personally don't think it is a good indicator. I looked up my fishing reports and found a very good day that I had on Amber. I went to the weather history and check the barometric pressure for the time and date of the report. What I found is that, according to the scale on the meter, I should have had a poor day of fishing.

I don't have a great deal of faith in things like that. There are too many variables other than just barometric pressure.
