Leaving technical mumbo jumbo out, when a front is rolling in it usually brings a pressure change with it. An easy way to look at it is say the distance between the clouds and fish would be the size of a weight they are swimming around with. As a blue sky is pushed out by a front clouds roll in and that distance gets considerably smaller or less in weight terms.
That is why fish always seem to bite better as a front comes in and all the way up until it passes. Because after that the weight is getting heavier until it levels off.
I know its not an answer in science terms but you see what I am saying.
When the fronts are coming through one after the other and pressure is up/down a lot that is when you go offshore to the deep resident fish where the effects are minimal if any.
This the only site I have ever found that shows a 5-day with pressure:
