Default Re: Super cold moon sunday night

For me, fishing on a full moon or new moon is usually excellent. My biggest musky this year was on a full moon, and biggest walleye this year was on a new moon. Moon phases always bring out the big fish that usually lurk in the depths, up to feed. I plan my fishing trips and days off work to fall on full/new moon.
The daily lunar events Moonrise, moonset, and the period in between (under food) also influences feeding windows, especially with musky.
But i also noted fishing at night in spring for walleye during a full moon was tough. But bass fishing at night during a full moon is usually great.
In the end, local weather will always trump whatever lunar phase is going on!
Hope this helps
