Willie Rip Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) I don't remember which, but you're right I've noticed the day before and the day after a full moon works well. The same with the new moon. In fact I don't fish unless it's the week of the full or new moon. For me it isn't worth the gas money.

Anglinarcher Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 When I am fishing tough fish, the night time 1 to 3 days before or 1 to 3 days after the full or new moon seem to turn on some monsters. Case in point is some winter/early spring Walleye in Washington State up to 15 pounds. But, for me, the best time to go fishing is when I can get off and my wife lets me. LOL The worst thing that can happen is to NOT go fishing and find myself watching TV or working instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Rip Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Anglin, that's about how I am. I figure plan the whole week of the new moon and full moon and forget the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taklebob Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 I haven't tried fishing during the week of the full moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Rip Posted August 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Yup, the full moon and the new moon are about all I fish: the week of the full moon and the week of the new moon. I use usprimetimes.com to help me zero in on the exact days and times to fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Very nice video, enjoyed it a lot. I wonder what effect the solar eclipse has on fish. My guess is that the fish will go into a feeding frenzy, as they think they have missed supper. Dawn and dusk are catching times in my experience.

cadman Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 I've had better luck fishing before and after a full moon. I've tried this for three consecutive years and documented my results and that seems to be a better fishing time for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonepile Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I fish when the water is wet. whatever the moon is doing, it's doing. but one sure thing is, you definitely won't catch fish if your rod isn't out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
