Full moon

Post by KingO'Dinks »

Going to be in Seadrift Sunday around noon, fish Sunday afternoon, and Monday. The Weather looks great, but It's a full moon :? My experiences fishing a full moon have been disappointing to say the least, but I am somewhat hopeful the cloud cover that night will lessen the effects. Probably not, but I am always a optimist when fishing.

Curious to see what adjustments, other than going on a different day, ya'll make when fishing a full moon.

Going solo, so if anyone else wants to go, pm me.

Tide movements are often bigger in a full moon, so I would check tide charts and target passes.
But yes, as a rule, fish often aren't as hungry since they could feed all night.
Quick look at the tide chart shows max tide fall 22rd and 23rd, right on the full moon.

find moving water through out they day, and on the full moon, focus around middle of the day and the late afternoon / evening. Also, redfish tend to be less affected by the moon's affect.. find a redfish and put a bait in front of him and he'll eat it 9 of 10 times.
