While the full moon might not be the greatest time to fish it's still more then worth the effort. I've caught plenty of fish in three feet of water on very bright night. If you can catch fish on bright sunny days you sure as heck can get them on bright nights.
The tides are bigger around the full moon so theres a lot of water movement which makes some areas better. Theres areas I fish that are almost impossible to fish on dark nights but on bright nights are easy to fish. Plus the extra low tides allow you access to sand bars that can't be walked at any other time. Here in New Hampshire the tide goes from +10.5' to - 1.4" around the full moon and at other times it's +8' to +1.3'. That extra two feet gives you a lot of extra access.
On bright moon night try using lighter colored eels. Just throw them in a white bucket for a day in the light and they will lighten up. Use white or yellow plugs.
Always remember you only catch fish when your fishing, waiting for the right light or tide or time of the year is wasting time. You want to make sure your out there at the peak times but also being out there at the other times helps.
