Thoughts on fishing RI with a big moon
 

Personal experience has shown me that in my home NJ waters, fishing sucks when the moon is big. Many of you know I frequent Rhody throughout the year, but always plan my trips around the new moon, or right before or right after it. Whaddaya think about the full moon phase, and what do you do different to catch fish during it?

I usually just yell at Nebe to pull his pants up :jump1:

Theres no fish in Rhody, especially during a bright full moon

live eels,deep water.there are two spots I fish when it is bright one of them you nj boys like to fish often.I really don't advises driving that far on a bright night,yet anything can happen and thats way I'll be out tonight myself.

The Full Moon, especially in the fall can mean great fishing. Hard-running tides make up for the extra light IMO. Just choose spots with deep water nearby.

I noticed the same thing in NJ too, but the predominantly shallow water on the beachfronts is what made the bass skittish on the full moon. I used to concentrate on deeper inlets on the full moon in NJ, and quite often some very big fish were more than willing to cooperate.

None at all.
I stay home and whittle wood on the full moon.

You ain't gonna have to worry about the moon tonight.:rolleyes:
