How Does a Full Moon Affect Your Fishing?

[johnnybass]

Florida has a trophy catch program where any bass 8+ pounds qualifies. I'm providing a link to all the catch data as well as a screenshot of the moon phase data. Pretty interesting stuff.

You're relatively new on the board so you can be excused for presenting facts. In all seriousness, great info.

Don't keep track so just another slow day on the water.

Well, if You use that one launch, there is the weird looking, odorous dude w/pointed teeth that always asks for money...

Edit: This phenomena affects the Angler who is taken off their game. Are You a better Angler if You get a solid bit of sleep? Is Your hook-up ratio affected if You spill gas and it stinks the whole trip? When that JayHoff merged and cut You off did that help/hurt?

Haven't done much night fishing in many years but when I did a lot of it I always had better luck when there was little to no moon.

In the summer when it’s a full moon and clear all night fishing is tough!

I always wear a ring of garlic around my neck to fend off bad JU JU for full moon.

I spend way too much time Howling at the Full Moon to think about fishing and think it might be a good idea to wear some Garlic thanks for the advice.

Myself and 5 of my best hunting and fishing buddies kept very detailed journals for our fishing and hunting for 5 years. We notated everything including the moon phase. Needless to say all my hunting and fishing trips revolve around the moon phase/solunar table. Not based on superstition but raw data.

The moon phase has a large impact with the alewife spawn and the Striper/Walleye night bite on L. Cumberland.

Any results or advice you care to share on your actual findings? Thanks in advance.

I don’t love full moons on clear nights. Know from being out the shad schools get hammered after dark on those nights. Fishing during day always seems slower if water is fairly clear.

When it’s cloudy or water is dirty seems to help. Probably my perception vs reality. Guess I should dig out my old log books.

It definitely impacts my ability to fish.

Technically that is only a half moon! But it would get me to go.( if I was a young Buck)

[BillsFan]

Full moon clear night with no breeze have never really been good to me.

I go when I can and moon face isn’t a factor. I throw the same 10-15 baits regardless

although, one member did mention something eye opening. Post #12. I believe the member might’ve been banned since his posts are no longer showing up, Since I “replied with quote” it saved it.

new moon-bass feed on crayfish pretty heavily
full moon-bass some fees on crayfish as much, presumably chasing baitfish

I like the full moon. About 2-3 days before and after. Love the new moon .

[red tzx 190]

Around the full moon, we stink it up ?

[berwickbasser]

No luck at all on a full moon

[mike petro]

Seems like they bite decent early in morning for a short window then again later in the day. I tend to have more patience and confidence that the bite will pick back up after noon or so.

This!

Full Moon is great for me....but so is the quarter moon, half moon , and new moon.
