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.

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.
