We pay close attention to the barometric pressure before, during and after our white bass fishing trips.  Creeks are generally shallow that white bass spawn in.  The weather plays a big part in a successful trip and a poor outing!  From what I have come up over the years, the fish are more comfortable in a range from 29.8...
