What is effect of moon on fish???

OK, maybe I am a slow learner, but I did a search, read this; http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...ght=moon+phase

So what are your theories, or ones you have heard, as to the effect of the moon on fish, on fishing, and why???

new moon =no moon=dark nights =great fishing
full moon =big tides.big tides +cloud cover=great fishing.full moon+no clouds=bad fishing.
Summary;fish whenever you can except when it's bright.

The main effect of the moon is the bigger tides around the full or new moons. Bigger tides means stronger currents and flows, which bass love. The dark nights of the new moon seem to be better but I usually never pass up around the full moon.
