I have been doing some research on walleyes in their negative bite conditions. For the last few years i have taken a liking to trying to catch negative fish intentionally. To the amusement of friends and family i have made fishing trip after fishing trip to locations where the fish have had notorious cases of lock jaw, when it would have been much more convenient and sensible to fish in closer locations where fish have been biting. I am pleased to report that some of my experiments have had a modicum of success. I have been measuring the ampereage of direct current from underwater terminal to terminal and have found differences in the readings after abrupt chamges in barometric pressure. I have also attempted to correlate my findings as to water temperature. I have begun to believe there may be aconnection

ex lacs, dude don't waist all that information on this web site. Write about it and send it to diferent magazines. never know, someone may want to put it in ther magazine for you. Could be the start of good things.

I'm not sure if this is at all similar, but there has been work on (pos/neg?) ions and there is at least one company that sells a unit to clip on a downrigger to cause an electrical field that supposedly makes fish strike,...perhaps there is some more information one their studies that correlate to yours.

The wind blowing by your shanty creates direct current, so does watercurrent it's been known for a long time here that the charge of the water or lack of influences the fish. Most often biting right up to ionization! River water with its positive charge and direct feeding directions have always been "less" infleunced by "positive" weather.

Explains a lot of the fiberglass rods guy's are still using.
