The Moon
 

Last night the moon comes up and it was like you turned off the switch. Anyone else notice this?

Yup. 7 hours, 1 hit, no fish. Did see 2 good ones landed though, just not by me :crying:

Moon rise, will kill the bite, no doubt.

Absolutely.Was getting great action until about 10mins after moonrise then nada.

last night just seemed more abrupt. Maybe because I was a little on the over tired side.

Mac:
Bryan and I had the same thing happen. Had fish to the West in Soco. Moon rise is Narraganset and it DIED!!!

That's what I mean. I was into fish then got a decent one then 2 more small then just like that the moon came up and NADA. Or maybe it was because a fishing friend of mine showed up. He looked at the one on the rocks and asked when I got it. I told him 15 minutes ago so we figured the game was on. Boy were we wrong :nopain:

mac:
seen it happen before. The shadows turn the fish off. Should be OK tonight with overcast.

i was too busy to notice :hihi: where the hell did this heave come from :as:

:crying: I can't fish. Have to work tomorrow. :crying: But only till thursday then off fishing for 5 days :uhuh: I just never had it happen in the Ditch like that.

That's what I want to know - last night I was fishing out front and a set came through, hit the rocks in front of me and I turned my head away from the spray at the last minute - christmas, it was like somebody shot an enema bag full of saltwater in my ear.

Next set and I get a blast of water that doused my cigarette and went straight up my nose - :hihi:

Figured at that point it was time to reassess my position :rolleyes:

ahh the old enema bag in the ear trick... gets em every time :smokin:

Paul who you trying to B/S heard you took fish waaaaaaaaaaaay after the moon came upp :yawn:

Gordon sucks and the Pats won.

I'm stumblin out the back door to fish.

The Brats WERE GOOD.

Wrong forum.Sorry guys.Please move as seen fit.

I'd agree with yous about the moon a year and a half ago .. But one night last fall i got fish every cast on a full moon for over an hour before having to go home and leave fish wanting more ..

sometimes ya just have to change color

Had fish in gansett monday in the clouds.to around 20lbs.then it cleared up an the moon came out an my bag was all wrong.so i went to the truck changed things up an moved an caught some more.Fished Gansett fri.night in beatifull water.not a touch fished bout 3/4 of a mile of rocks.nothing.Tuesday they put the fish net out.An I noticed a big decline in the catching in the bayside rocks.Dark to moon will make the fish move in the bright moon they can spread out an ambush in many little hidey holes.on the beach the might move off.they got fins they move all the time find a deep hole u'll find em.

Fished with Paul an Brian.what a good bunch o guys.hard core indeed.Paul called me at 2:15 AM said meet him at 3:15.at 3:17 i was one mile from him geared up to go an the phone rings.where the hell are ya.Funny stuff.We fished a OTW described spot in beatifull water an got a few small fish.I think the fish get the mag an stay away from them spots.no sense in goin there.

Tony;
great fishing with you, BTW we saw you sleeping Sat. night when we left spot X but let you sleep... thats where the switch turned off... we'll hook up again when you venture north...

and yes; rule 1 is that if fishing at 3, we get there at 245 :D
Bryan

Tony:
good time with you the other night. I WILL be coming to Jersey in December if you are still getting fish. As Bryan said, we saw you sleeping Sat night. I actually walked over to your truck but Bryan said "Let'm sleep!

LOL, I only have 3 different jig styles, black, white and skin jigs. Only thing that was working was the skin jigs. Wouldn't touch a jig and pork rind. Did do 1 small fish on a NJ style rigged eel.

Mac -- got one keeper just after dawn. On the bottom on a 5 oz. crippled h - couldnt do squat topwater or w/eelskins.
Fished yesterday nite and got skunked at the west end. The cribbin is hot!
