night time fishing

[monsterfish]

just curious if you normally have better nights fishing during a full moon or not? or it doesnt even matter? i normally dont catch a thing until days after a full moon, whats your take?

[Pennsy Guy]

It does inshore a lot more than offshore--have caught tuna on all phases. Even with a full moon setting in the west and sun just full up we did very well & with the current ripping....Same with a new moon.....

For me my experience for bass fishing witch is what im assuming your talking about since asking about night fishing....is either red hot or shoulda stayed home i usually always specifically target days up to and after the moon. Ive heard guys say the light scares them off that's bs ive slaughtered bass all night with full moon in my face! Faster and more dramatic tide changes the better in faster tides fished certain ways wil send you hone with a night of a life time!

Same here the few days before and after a full has always been good to me..Like Kmaty said I have also had killer nights when the moon is bright and high..But also i have been on a bite the days before only to skunk out on the full moon...Ya never no unless you go!..I do like full moon nights when its cloudy...And love the new moon especially in the back..light colored plugs with a full moon is the way to go..Actually always do well with a chicken scratch bomber/SP when its bright out!

Never had any luck inshore fishing on full moons.

Other than livelining bunker....what he said^^^^^

Moons never worked for me inshore. Bad too strong currents.

Offshore is hit or miss. I do once yearly Canyon 24 hours trips. So selection is key for me.

Had a GREAT all time high 5 YFT's one night in October at Lindenkohl Canyon. The next 3 fall month full moons the BOAT caught very little at the hot Canyon. Stopped targetting moon tides.
