Question June's new moon, and the back beaches of CC

I am planning a week in N. Truro this June. I have been there before and know where I want to go, BUT in your opinion and I know its a pretty vague question, would you rather the upside of downside of the new moon?

Thanks in advance.

You should talk to Dave "the pants man" Manzi; he's the best authority I've ever met on how moon phases effect outer beaches during specific months.
Later,
Rick
PS Look out, he's mental!!!

Many times been out there poundin fish, then as soon as that moon comes up, the fish shut off like a switch. A couple years ago was fishin with a couple of the sharpies on a bright, clear, moonlit night. Every time a single little cloud would pass the moon, we'd all hook up, then nothin till the next little cloud came by.
Make an effort to fish before the moon comes out or after it sinks down behind the dunes. Small window of opportunity given sometimes the moon never sets before the sun is up.

How can you tell at nite?

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

i got into some nice fish last year during the 2nd and 3rd week of june in chatham, biggest at 41". nice fish on light tackle, but this was caught in pleasant bay. i know what youre saying, there weren't many fish on the outer beach during that time. at least i didn't see many. i hope the water warms a little faster this year, would like to take a biggun off the beach during my vacation.
