Full moon Striper fishing is a man made myth anyway.
In my 25 plus years surf fishing. The full moon has very, very rarely produced any better than any other night.
Full moon is good for jacking blue claws. That's it.
Give me a PITCH BLACK night over a full moon any time.

Usually concentrate on strong currents during full moon using bucktails. Olive color Mambo Minnow off the beach.

That statement is simply not true...Some of my best nights have come on a full moon...My largest surf caught bass at 53lbs came on a full moon..The new moon is good also but I can say from experiance..The full moon is a great time to catch bass....In 2005 I had two 40lb fish one night after the full moon bright as could be...
Forget the moon, Since boat fishing I have had large fish in 5 foot of water on the sunniest of days.....There is nothing wrong with the full moon...That is a myth |

my largest was caught two days after the full moon on a plastic.... so i would have to say that big fish can be taken during full moons. *** right place, right time *** |

No, there is nothing WRONG with it. But I really don't believe that it makes a huge difference either way.
This is from personal experience.
Everyone also says that Togging on a moon tide is NO GOOD.
I had my BEST day Blackfishing on the day of the full moon.
Anything can happen. |

Smaller offerings on a full moon. That's the ticket! |

Although my "full moon experience" is much less than
25 years, the biggest BITES i've experienced have been
either on or during the 4 day window of the full ~at my
biggest producer. Two have been cloud covered and
pissing/pouring rain, but with huge tides and drastic
changes in water volume/currents ~nonetheless~ and,
there is something to "full moon fever" for feesh and humans, imho!!!
Big CHUNKS of fresh Bunker,
Live Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels,
any wood that is parrot or yellow/white,
yellow/yellow with a red chin. jig and a pig.
throw what ya know, and believe in tha most!!
Works everytime.....................  |

between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Moon Tides!!! 
I have found overcast full moon to produce better than a bright full moon. Also love new moon tides.
That being said, this past October, under bright moon conditions, we hammered them for a week with big Pearl Spot Tsunami Shads. |
I'd rather be fishing!

I can tell you that from my own surf fishing experience that my success during the bright moon phase is limited. Sure I've had good nights during the bright moon on occasion but they are the exception. I've always needed to work harder and changed my tactics during the moon to take bass. The bass may still be there but may be a bit finicky. There are many things you can do to improve your odds such as tying direct. I've penned an article that will soon be submitted to Canalman for possible publication in his magazine - it will cover bright moon tactics that have been successful for me in the past.
Sounds like many here don't have as much a problem during the bright moon as I do - so no need to mention here what my favorite full moon plugs are. Shoot me a pm if interested.

Ask 10 different guys this question, and chances are you'll have 10 different answers. It's all about what works for you. Use the plug you have the most confidence in, as what works for others may not work for you.

And of course, eels.
