Moon vs bite

[skach1]

My question is does anyone know if with a full moon makes a slow bite or is it just me ? Twice I have had slow bites while there being a full moon.

I to have experienced it and I have come to my own opinion that it's the bait it actually affects. When that bait moves the fish will move as well but sometimes the bait ends up coming into water temps that the fish don't agree with so they separate. Or the fish absolutely gorge themselves cause they can see the bait more clearly with the moonlight.

I believe the above says it all . A full moon is always a tough bite unless fishin eyes middle of summer midday on a full moon then it produces

We never go out early on full moon (previous night).  Salmon basically have better eyesight and use moons light to eat bait all night long. By 6 am they're full.  However, a salmon needs to eat a lot every day, so by 11 am they start biting again.

 

So that's the time we're generally back out after a full moon.  I've seen many guys give up by 10 am, and pack it in.  But if they wait, almost consistently by 11 or 11:30 am, the bite turns on.

Thank you all. Thought if it effects deer it might effect fish.

Keep your lures wet .

East wind trumps any moon effect. Got favorable wind and water? Go fish.

I have had miserably slow mornings on the water, and in the duck blind following a full moon. I think there is something to be said for the wildlife up all night putting on a serious feeding frenzy, then loafing for a while after.

I also second the 10:00 and later I get very few bites before then with a full moon, on a few occasions though iv had them turn on like a light switch later in the morning
