Moon Phase Fishing

[marty f]

Do you buy into this? Ive come across a few web sites that show "best fishing days" accoroding to the moon phase.

What do you know about fishing and the moon phase?

i know the bass spawn is heavily related to moon phases. I usually catch a little better if there is not a fool moon at night though, if that helps at all (specs and bass)

What exactly is a "fool" moon? lol

Over several years I've caught almost all of my biggest trout in the week before a full moon in February thru May.

Other than that I follow major and minor feeding times which are based on moon position more than moon phase.

I get out and fish when my schedule allows. I almost always catch fish.

In Colorado, the trout fishing could be slow the day following a full moon on a clear night.

But in Louisiana, the fish are almost always biting.

I fish trout from Empire to Venice and the three days after the full and new moon are the absolute best time to catch numbers and size in April,May and June,that's a guarantee water and weather conditions permitting!!

I would second this for the GI/Fourchon area. I actually prefer the new moon to the full
