Default Re: Good MOON or Bad MOON?

I've noticed more of a correlation with the moon and fishing in the salt than fresh, and it's also been species dependent. It 100% does trigger spawning and movement. In the salt, I've had my worst striper trips on full moons. Fluke trips haven't had any effect. Blackfish makes the current a bit stronger.

In freshwater I've noticed a change in the herring on full moons. If someone said to me you have a choice of 1 day - the day of the full moon, or a few days after, I'd always take the few days after.
