Hey guys. Im new to the site. I just want to say hi to everybody. Theres nothing more i'd rather do then go striped bass fishing. I want to go out to Sandy Hook Nj tonight for some bass fishing but for some odd reason I cant ever seem to catch bass on a full moon? Im going to use bunker chunks. Is it a good idea to go out today? I know the full me people have there own opinions. I just want to know the truth. And if sombody wants to go out to sandy hook tonight Im willing to meet up over there?

Yes. Big moon. Fish. New better than Full IMO but still go Fish.

ko im going to give it a shot. I heard cloud cover on a full moon is good. its supposed to be cloudy all night so lets seee what happens

I can pretty much Guarantee that if you don't go you won't catch anything :hee:

Old wives tale.. if the fish are there.. they will eat.. go fishing.

you guys motivated me.. IM going 100 percent!!

Its supposed to be the "smallest" full moon of the year anyways, due to the distance of the moon from the Earth. Let us know how you did, maybe we'll road trip and attack Jersey!:rotf2:

I either do terrible, or fantastic on a full... you wont know which it will be til you go!

I'll be out at SH tonite, gotta get my $50 worth outa that pass.

I got my biggest bass of the season, one season, on a night of the full Harvest moon in Sept..

throw a bunker HEAD for a slob...

I have done VERY well on dark full moons. Add some cloud cover and things often turn on in a big way. Without cloud cover, you'll need to find deep water to succeed.

A Hunters moon I think.

Full moon, not a cloud in the sky, 2 to 6 feet of water, seas 1 foot or less... Now that's what I call ideal night time conditions.

Very rarely does a full moon let me down.

Just got in didnt get a darn thing. It looked like crabs or maybe baby blues were knarling away at my bait all night.. Anything your way?

Nah..........I never fish on a Full Moon. :hihi:

well i figured it was worth a shot. I wasnt doing anything at home. Id rather be out there on the beach then sitting on the couch watching tv.

Fished with my son C&R 3 apiece in about 2 hours throwing plugs.
Cookie cutter fish all in the 18-20 lb range.

I couldnt even throw plugs the wind was blowing right at me lol

Definitely worth a shot...I was just being kind of a wise-a$$ :hee:

Don't pay attention to me.....:hihi:

lol i figured but damn i want a good day of fishing. I havent got a keeper this fall season yet. usually by now i would have at least 5 keepers. .

Good ya got out TRT.
There was a NE wind last night which is not the best for
that area. I've found NW is best and is usually more important
than the moon phase, except new moon. Just my experience.
