It doesn't have to be exactly on the full moon.  Usually fishing picks up for about a week on both sides (before and after) of the full moon.  I am a big believer on the moons effect on fish activity.  It happens every 2 weeks with full and new moons.  When I lived in Texas you could really tell during the spawn.  Every 2 week there would be a new wave of spawners go to the beds.  I have kept fishing logs since the early 90's and most of my better days have been around a full or new moon.  I am a believer!    On a side note:  GO CARDS!!!! 

very interesting. ill have to pay more attention to that! ill take every advantage..or excuse..i can get!

GO CARDS!!!!

I kept records of my catches of crappie on Stockton for over 30 years. I day fish only and my average crappie per hour from Apr 1st to October 31st was 30% higher during the 3 days around the dark of the moon compared to the 3 days around the full moon. It did not seem to matter much during the winter months. I always attributed this to the crappie feeding more at night when the moon was full and during the dark of the moon they were less active in order to better protect themselves from predators. Of course this is all subjective.

That is kind of like my luck, but the guy that started this thread has caught more walleye than I ever will.

I figure I just have more to learn.😀
