[Slingah]

Ross I have heard that WOLF fish bite better on the full moon!!!!!!!

trust me .. look to llewellyn's
anyways...
this full moon of march is in virgo (barren) (on the 14th) followed by

libra (semi fruitfall) 15th and 16th ....(thats when you plant flower bulbs) then on the 17th 18th 19th its in Scorpio (fruitfall) so those are three much better days to fish coming up....

but hey if your a striped bass....ie a big ole silver fish that reflects moonlight like a bastage...then moonlight is your enemy because it gives away your position....(in the upper water level 1-10ft ) and i theorize that fish (stripers) have to take advantage of every shadow and shadow line ,air bubbles in the surf or the roll of a wave and Rocks,,,as structure to give them the stealth advantage. i think when the moon is full thats the time to fish deeper water where moonlight isn't as much a factor.... just my thoughts on it tho....

Had some of my best nights fishing under the moon! I agree with Slingah....if there is bait present the fish will be there.....moon or not!
