How much (if any) does Humidity affect cats?


We went yesterday trying to catch some gills for bait and only caught 4, the humidity was 100%

100% humidity...? isn't that called rain...?:big_smile:
It definitely effects the cats in my area... when the humidity is up, there's less chance of me harassing them from my post next to the A/C..:lol:

Yea I tried that, fishing next to the ac and thought I had a good one on. Screaming drag and found out I had hooked the wife and it was her screaming.

I don't think the humidity has an effect on the fish since they are already under water. ;)

However, humid air is usually warm, and warm air is less dense (and rises), so maybe it's a pressure difference with humid and dry air that effects the bite?

Of course, I live in KY, not Arizona (warm and dry) so maybe that's all wrong.
