Yup and yup (but #40 fluoro is as light as I dare go where I fish)
Skin plugs help a little ( no where near as much as clouds) but are far from a sure thing when the moon is up. Finding deep water and fishing deep is the better trick, which is why boat fishing (or the canal) is often good with a big moon. Also, during spring and fall migrations fish are less fussy so sometimes I've done well, but more often not.
Consistently catching quality fish on plugs from shore under a bright summer moon is not something I have been able to master.....or understand. It eats at me since a big moon now kills my confidence, and confidence is key to catching fish on plugs.
