Most striper fisherman, if they have a choice, prefer a moonless night.
It's not so much that you can't catch or shouldn't go under a full moon but don't be surprised if you encounter tough fishing. I often shift to eels when the moon is around. There's nothing like an eel and I always feel like I need all the help I can get around a full moon.
I'm a big believer in that when you can go, you go. Epic events in the fishing world don't always go on for more then a day, sometimes it's far less then that. You'll either be there or you'll be reading about it on a website or in the paper days later.
Victory favors the bold, and those who go fishing a lot. |
