Not unusual on a big moon particularly in the dead of summer, and even more so if calm. When it gets darker, windier, and colder things change. I have had many nights where a darter or a plain needle outfished a skinned needle....and vice versa. All I can say is that it is a mistake to put too much faith in one method.
