My question would be, "How do we know this?" Are we just speculating?

I'm not doubting you. It's just that my intuition tells me that there may be other factors at work.

I think fish eat when they're hungry, when there's food available, and particularly when they have some type of advantage to exploit.

I don't personally believe that variations in barometric pressure have such a profound effect. But that doesn't mean I'm right.
