Default Full Moon Fishing

I need to gauge your opinions on " Full Moon" fishing..

Before, during or after....

Yes you love it, no you hate it...

What say you ???

If I have friends on the boat that "need" to catch fish; I would rather not fish the three days around a full moon (the day before, the full moon, the day after).
If the sky is clear and the moon is bright, I feel fish feed during the night. This is just one more variable working against me. I do like that the tides change quicker and there is less of a "dead tide".
Just an opinion; no facts to back it up.

Did fine last night / this morning.

Full moon often brings stronger currents - if you adjust for that - often good fishing.

Had my limit of rockfish by 8:00am.....Chumming with LY's. 3rd time this week.

The moon is not as big a problem as the low pressure.

I love a full bright moon for Largemouth fishing. Nothing better than a little moonlight bouncing off a spinnerbait blade in shallow water.

Hi Brian, the fishing has been off the charts. Dolphin, Kings, and Wahoo, live bait is the key, which is everywhere. Inshore the Snook and tarpon are here i n full force. Huge speckeled Trout were in the inlets along with Jacks to 35 lbs. You can catch all the Bonita and Blackfin you want. Have to leave all this for a business trip back to Maryland.
