Moon Phases

[CrappieMagnet]

Anybody pay attention to the moon phases?

Full moon verses New moon?

3 day before full moon...3 days after?

Don't care?


I have caught loads of fish before the full moon and the three days after.Kinda curious if everyone else pays attention too?:D

I have a friend in SW MO that swears by that! He makes it a point to fish before and after the full moon. He catches quite a few fish also! i don't get to fish enough to find out if it's true or not! :D

We pay some attention to it, but we won't stay off the lake just because we're in an off phase since we're limited to weekends . If we have good weather conditions, we do notice better fishing around the full moon, but poor local weather conditions will cancel out any benefits of the full moon. - Roberta

I have been watching moon phases for a long time. I definitely think fishing is better around the full and new moon. Another consideration is that major insect hatches coinside with the moon phases. Maybe its the moon maybe its the insect hatch.
