I would have to agree with Cowhunter about the full moon. I love fishing the full moon, and my best fish over the past few years have come on the July one. Maybe its a Jersey thing because I fish in Jersey also, and every full moon the beach (at least where I fish) is packed with fishermen tossing almost every bait imagined (including one guy who tosses some kind of beef. He swears by it but I had never heard of it until I was talkign w/ him one night last year. If any one can explain the reasoning behind it, it would be much appreciated because he refuses to tell me.) But most pack it in after an hour or so of catching skates and oyster crackers and before the game fish whether it be blues, fluke or bass start to come in. This is how I caught striper fever catching the only keeper bass of the moon.
