Come to think of it. same w/ trout fishing.

I don't know if you noticed but usually there isn't much of a tide on a full moon for at least two days usually the third day after a full moon the tide range is 1.5-2.0ft that is what helps with the trout fishing the tide moves more. I have fished the full moon days in fresh water that isn't effected by tide and have had bad days where the fish just weren't as active. Why? I do not know! On a new moon its the same situation but there isn't any light in the sky at night so the fishing is better in daytime then at night.
