What days do you consider "full moon"
I'd say 3 days either side of full, generally pretty bright. any other opinions?

I look at the tide charts for that period and consider the moon related tides more than the actual full moon event.

I'm not sure I understand what your saying. I was thinking more along the lines of if you don't like fishing full moon... what span of days around the full moon do you consider bad. |

Right. I don't think it's so much the glow of the moon, but the tide, and the pull of the water. And the affect the full moon has on the bite. |
Be encouraging, not discouraging

Well then riddle me this... why is the new moon generally better than the full? |

Full moon
I'll vote for 4or 5 days before and after dead full. Never did really well during that period save for a few good bright nights in mid to late Fall or , of course, if it is over cast and stormy. My theory about good fishing on dark nights is simply that bass are more prone to hunt inshore during COMPLETE darkness -- the darker the better.

The brightness of the moon when full works against us but the very high and low tides mean more current , etc and that is good for fishing. I think the new moon is better for stripers than the full moon because then you have darkness and the extra high and low tides.
Also remember that when its cloudy , you get the benefits of the full moon without the spotlight affect.

I guess 3 days before and after sounds about right for what I would call a full moon night, although in truth I don't count the days, and just note that I don't need a flashlight to bike to my spots at night.

I don't consider it at all.
If its shining I fish shadow lines and if its overcast I just fish.
