When the millibar pressure drops to around 990 and holds for a few days, get yourself on the bank 🙂

Yes, barometric pressure is a factor, wind strength and direction, absolutely... moon phase is another thing to be mindful of. Understanding each piece of the jigsaw can help you stack the odds in your favour.

Agreed Mark, sometimes I'm sure I overthink it, barometric pressure's affect on natural food, hatchings...my brain gets fried!
Also for the OP, take brief notes on the conditions when you or your friends are fishing, doesn't have to be fancy just conditions, sightings, captures, times etc, usually a pattern will start to emerge and each water can be different.
The biggest factor will always be finding fish regardless of conditions so concentrate on this the most.

There is much to be said for the old salty dog's rhymes concerning air pressure:
A quick rise after a low indicates a certain blow. (If atmospheric pressure is rising or falling very quickly it tells you that strong winds are coming.)
Mackerel skies and mare's tails make tall ships hoist short sails. (These indicate a very fast-moving jet stream that invariably produces intense low pressure systems and their and accompanying winds.)

As the pressure drops with big south westerlies or south easterlies I had some very good results on the reservoir. It pushed up to the nature reserve and bridge.
Anytime it had north in was a pain to find the fish. They did not follow it all the way to the dam.

I think Yonny hit the nail on the head, different lake react differently to different conditions, one lake I'm on fishes a lot better when it's sunny any high pressure, where another is more you typical low pressure and it's bite o'clock,
