Death sentence to gamefishing.  Fish deeper water than you normally would and take them on the run or rubber band them.

I always correlated full moon to great fishing especially for pike. Not sure how it is for other species. I caught a 24 and 18 lb pike the last 2 days with this full moon phase.

normally for me a full moon and the week after are usually slow unless weather moves in, but you may get a good one even if its your only bite. my 2 cents. ;)
