Fished there yesterday, fish are shallow staging close to spawning areas. They are full of eggs and are fixin to Spawn with this next full moon. Water temps were 62 to 64. Kind of a late spawn for cedar creek.
how do they know which full moon to spawn on? and how do they hold the eggs in until the correct full moon event occurs?
after that how do they know if the moon will be exposed and bright or obscured by heavy upper atmosphere cloud cover?
does the gravitational pull from the moon assist in the eggs coming out? are they using the moonlight for navigation ?
I have heard this full moon spawn event theory for decades, but nobody has ever explained the science behind it.
I would love to hear your reasoning for belief in this ? thanks
