Typically the full moon brings a lot of the staging fish into the spawning flats and the brings new fish into the staging areas. I have always heard that 3 days before and 3 days after are the best days. I prefer the 3 days before. Also I have seen increased movement of fish and big game when the moon is either directly overhead or directly underfoot as the saying goes.
Hope this helps.
I am sure there are many others with better scientific knowledge of the moon and its effects.

Full moon days I prefer the rising moon to one that's setting.

Starting this Friday (11th) "the signs" are good thru the 16th and then LEAP to best thru the 21st then back to good thru the 28th. It can happen either side of peak full moon but I'd be sure to be on the water during peak FM just in case!

I got a feeling Fork is gonna bust loose big time during the next 18 days. Check and double check your tackle 'cause some of ya's are going to be meeting a S.A.L.!! Get 'em to Cameron STAT! cause he's got the magic touch!

Good luck to all!

I believe those are referred to as major feeding periods, moon rise and moon set are the minors..

I've noticed that my wife seems to feed better three days before the full moon. She's just cranky the three days after.
