All the following is applying to LM bass.

I've never heard a bass expert who didn't agree that bass fishing is better right before a storm and worse right after (even people who like to be contradictory agree here). Prefrontal fish are active, postfrontal fish are inactive, and stable weather fish are predictable.

How do you know if it's prefrontal, postfrontal, or stable? Confuses me sometimes when I'm fishing in between two big fronts that are a day apart. I guess you could say that whenever the barometer is falling its prefrontal, when it's rising it's postfrontal, and when it's stable it's stable. Wind direction can also give you a good hint if you know how the lake reacts to weather beforehand.

Night fishing? I don't think it changes much. Although I was fishing once at night on a full moon with very heavy cloud cover. Around 1AM the clouds gave way making it suddenly bright. The fish went nuts. Maybe they were doing the same bite that happens right before sunrise. Who knows.
