Quote - Frank Diagnault gets into shadows in one of his books....I can't recall the title, which is strange because I must have read it at least three times..I recall a picture of him looking down from a bridge shielding his eyes while checking the bridge shadows.
Back in the '70's Frank and many others used to fish the west end of the Jamestown Bridge, ordinarily using Smilin' Bill bucktails. The bridge lights attracted bait, while the predators (bass, blues, squateague), lurking in the shadows, would strike lures entering their zone. A bridge gaff would be employed to hoist one's catch. The bite was good, but the police often chased fihermen off the bridge, which had a narrow sidewalk on the south side only, making the incoming tide advantageous.
Ordinarily, I don't like the full moon from the surf, but guys have made several good points.
