Default Re: Good MOON or Bad MOON?

I have found both full moons and new moons to produce better musky fishing. Also, daily moon phases such as majors and minors are worth paying attention to. There have been more than a few times I have seen dick for 9 hours and then get a bunch of follows and a fish 30 minutes before the moonrise or right at the major. That being said, local weather patterns will trump moon phases every time, so unless you're heading out onto the water in the next 15 minutes, I wouldn't count on the full moon producing any lights-out fishing this weekend once the cold front passes.
