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.
