Fishing and thunder...?

I know it's not a good idea to be out fishing when there's a threat of thunder and lightning, your just asking for trouble!

But, I heard that when there is thunder in the air that fish go off the feed anyway and stay off for a while after, something to do with air pressure or something.

Anyone heard of this and is there much truth about it!?..

I fished rathmullan from about 10:30 to 4 yesterday and i had to ray before 1 but then big tgunder clouds started forming around the place and i didnt get one fish for the rest of the day . Two other lads were fishing from around 2 and they caught nothing .....

I notice two days before the thunderstorm alot of lobsters being caught, they seemed to be moving in towards shore, Regarding thunderstorm conditions they seem to go off the feed alright, BUT Ive caught mackerel in storm conditions from the shore

not sure about that as in the old freshwater days sliver eels used to go on the feed just before a big storm

Last season after a about a week of calm clear water/weather,
I heard on the marine forecast that a storm was coming from the east the next day at about 11....

I thought this will be my only chance of a bass on lures in the next week (after already being bassless for the week previous due to the very calm and clear conditions)

i remember heading out at about 10 the next day just as the wind was turning and starting to pick up,,i had a great session with five bass to about 8 lbs...the last half hour was nearly impossible to fish at the wind was starting to blow..it was about an hour session

I'm sold on the theory of fish feeding hard just before a blow...

I wouldn't have a clue how fish react to thunder.Lots of mammals are afraid of thunder so it wouldn't be outside the bounds of possibilities that it would freak out marine species as well??????The quick change in air pressure makes sense too.
