Trying to learn to read conditions for fishing

I've always found better fishing when the barometric pressure is dropping.

Also (this is for Big Lake)...I found fishing better when there's a tide moving. In one spot in particular, we'd fish one side of a washout for a falling tide and swap over to the other side for a rising tide. It was odd, but productive.

What was said about the winds is totally true as well. Good South winds brought a higher salinity and nicer trout into Big Lake. North winds SUCKED hard.

Man I sure miss my back yard.

Some people can look at weather conditions and know if they will be able to catch trout in the surf or not and I want to learn how to do that.

This is the website I use. I think wind direction, wind speed, wave direction, and wave height are the most important factors but I don't know when the conditions are ideal to make the clean water trout like.

Also, how does pressure and temperature factor in? Is a full moon the night before actually bad for fishing because it means the fish have been feeding all night?

Wind Direction
It's important in that if there is a river or pass going into the gulf, that the wind is not pushing that dirty water your way.
For example, if your fishing on the east side of a pass or river, you don't want a southwest wind blowing that dirty water your way. Especially if it has blown for a few days in that same direction.

Tides
By the old shrimping rule, the 3 days before and 3 days after the full moon are the best days to shrimp or fish. the shrimp are moving at those times, thus, if shrimp are in the water, the trout will be too.
As the moon gets full, the tides get stronger.
As an example of a range.

0.4, 0.7, 0.9, 1.1, 1.3, 1.5, 1.5, 1.5, 1.3, 1.1, 0.8, 0.4

So the full moon tide range is 1.5, so the 3 days before that (0.9 - 1.3) and after (1.3 - 0.8) will be your best days.

Also, any tide over 1.4 or such will start to dirty the water up, just too strong.

Not saying you can't catch outside of these days, but I've learned quite a few lessons over many a years, shrimping and fishing, using this as a guide.
