Usually I struggle plugging under a bright moon, but I did have one decent night this past summer fishing a topwater plug (surf howdy) over fish feeding on krill.

I have caught some fish over the years on the full moon, but generally the fishing on the Cape, is far better closer to the new moon. The fish here always seem difficult to catch when the moon is BRIGHT. This does not seem to be the case on a full moon with heavy cloud cover if you find fish. Anything in white, yellow,pink, or variations of these such as wonderbread or chicken scratch will do, and eels are always a good choice, regardless of moon phase.

Completely outside the box. July full moon, dead low tide, 2:00 AM.
Black jointed Danny (my own). Finally dropped the fish after she straightened a 3/0 3X treble and bent the lip all to hell.
You never know.

Never really put much stock in the opinion that fishing on the full moon isn't as good as during the new moon. Just like changing tides and wind, you may need to fish in different places than you would on a new moon. Maybe the shallow calm areas won't be as good. Rivers and breachways with deeper moving water have produced well on the full moon for me. The full moon will develop shadow areas that will produce and if the water is rough then it doesn't really seem to matter. The bigger flood tides in marshes open up new areas for the fish to work. On the brightest of nights I've seen hundreds of fish in shallow water grubing for worms on flats that are not normally covered. Just need to find these area.
