There is only one gripe I have about a bright full moon... when you get them in close, large fish (30 to 50+ pounds) love to duck under the boat and hide in the shadow. I'm positive that most people know that is the last place you want to battle a fish, especially when "bottom" is only in two feet below the skeg. It makes for some very tense moments when these fish hold bottom behind the transom and/or continuously dart diagonally to opposite ends of the boat while the angler has to run around the deck like a dog chasing it's tail.

God I love the full moon!!!


...Joe does own a surf belt. It was put to use under the same bright conditions two nights prior. We were casting into exactly the same type of water. We were just standing on the opposite side of the waves.
