Why The Moon Is Your Key To Night Fishing Success
Want To Catch More Fish At Night, Watch the Moon!
Sounds like a crazy idea, doesn't it?
I thought so to, until I experienced it first hand.
Using the moon, you are able to learn several things about fish
at night. During a full moon, you are most likely to find fish
hiding in the shadows. Don't ask why it's true, but that's what
we have seen. When you find shadows on the water (from trees,
etc), you know exactly where you need to cast your line.
Keep in mind that if there is no moon, you aren't out of luck.

If the moonlight is not shining down on the water and there are
no shadows, the fish will be much more scattered in the water,
making your job of finding them much more difficult.
On the other side of the coin, it seems like the fish are more
likely to hit when the moon is hidden, either by clouds or a
quarter moon. So, the real trick is to use the moon to determine
how you are going to fish that particular night.
If you have a bright, full moon, head for the shadows on the
water. If you are on the water and the moon is nowhere in sight,
you can go straight to your favorite spot and fish like you
normally do, but expect to get more frequent and harder hits on
your line.
This tip is especially true for bass, but it works with
virtually any kind of fish at night.
Some fishermen swear they only fish during a full moon, others
say no moonlight is best. I say, both are best, you just have to
alter your style depending on how much moonlight you have that
night.
Try it out for yourself and see if you get the same results.
This one tip alone has helped me catch some of the biggest fish
in my life. Hopefully it will help you do the same.
