Best plug on a full moon?
 

Any thoughts, comments?

Black Bomber

depends on the conditions and location i am fishing. a white or yellow slow sinking needle. or if there is good wave action and rocks, a yellow and white danny/junior. if there are blues in, i will throw tins

Anything BigFish!;)

Parrot Needlefish is my all time favorite

White needle for me.Specifically Salty's white Patriot needle.

Truthfully....I like my bunker colored "Prey".....chrome sided bombers are great!:kewl:

Best plug on a full moon
 

Forget the plugs!
Live pogies or eels !

Anything made by bigfish larry....and of course Live eels

Bill. You don't worry about loosing all your eels to the Blues on fullmoon nights?

no

i'm sure either of us would take our chances anyways :humpty:

Really can't go wrong with a live eel!:uhuh:

white BM wadd

we would...I dont run into that problem alot, sure there are times, If its a real hassle I will move to another spot...its worth it

Guess i just need to bring more eels with me then

Full moon Striper fishing is a man made myth anyway.

In my 25 plus years surf fishing. The full moon has very, very rarely produced any better than any other night.

Full moon is good for jacking blue claws. That's it.

Give me a PITCH BLACK night over a full moon any time.

JMO

Opposite for me.....no moon has shown me nothing......I have done well under the moonlight! All my best nights have been moonlit!:huh: Go figure?

Usually concentrate on strong currents during full moon using bucktails. Olive color Mambo Minnow off the beach.

That statement is simply not true...Some of my best nights have come on a full moon...My largest surf caught bass at 53lbs came on a full moon..The new moon is good also but I can say from experiance..The full moon is a great time to catch bass....In 2005 I had two 40lb fish one night after the full moon bright as could be...

Forget the moon, Since boat fishing I have had large fish in 5 foot of water on the sunniest of days.....There is nothing wrong with the full moon...That is a myth

my largest was caught two days after the full moon on a plastic.... so i would have to say that big fish can be taken during full moons. *** right place, right time :humpty: ***

Same here Larry, had a few real good nights under a full moon tossing eels... Canalman can confirm...

No, there is nothing WRONG with it. But I really don't believe that it makes a huge difference either way.

This is from personal experience.

Everyone also says that Togging on a moon tide is NO GOOD.

I had my BEST day Blackfishing on the day of the full moon.

Anything can happen.

Smaller offerings on a full moon. That's the ticket!

Although my "full moon experience" is much less than
25 years, the biggest BITES i've experienced have been
either on or during the 4 day window of the full ~at my
biggest producer. Two have been cloud covered and
pissing/pouring rain, but with huge tides and drastic
changes in water volume/currents ~nonetheless~ and,
there is something to "full moon fever" for feesh and humans, imho!!!

Big CHUNKS of fresh Bunker,
Live Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels,
any wood that is parrot or yellow/white,
yellow/yellow with a red chin. jig and a pig.
throw what ya know, and believe in tha most!!

Works everytime.....................:humpty: :cool: :humpty:

Moon Tides!!! :btu:
I have found overcast full moon to produce better than a bright full moon. Also love new moon tides.
That being said, this past October, under bright moon conditions, we hammered them for a week with big Pearl Spot Tsunami Shads.

I can tell you that from my own surf fishing experience that my success during the bright moon phase is limited. Sure I've had good nights during the bright moon on occasion but they are the exception. I've always needed to work harder and changed my tactics during the moon to take bass. The bass may still be there but may be a bit finicky. There are many things you can do to improve your odds such as tying direct. I've penned an article that will soon be submitted to Canalman for possible publication in his magazine - it will cover bright moon tactics that have been successful for me in the past.
Sounds like many here don't have as much a problem during the bright moon as I do - so no need to mention here what my favorite full moon plugs are. Shoot me a pm if interested.

Ask 10 different guys this question, and chances are you'll have 10 different answers. It's all about what works for you. Use the plug you have the most confidence in, as what works for others may not work for you.

The same plugs I use on a new moon.

And of course, eels.

Idon,t care for all the weed during a big tide. eel beard.
