Definitely agree here. My father and I have tracked this for many years trying to figure out best time to fish around the full moon. As good as the fishing was about a week ago, the fishing flattened out over the weekend. Even with a fairly full moon, it was too nice of a day yesterday to stay home.  ;D

Fished hard past three days, differnt locations and the bite has been very light, mark fish no interest. A few perch today but really light bite, is it the moon? I don't know but I just wanna rip lips.

Seems it’s slow for lots of folks. My two cents says it’s the yo-yo barometer. Seems like every 36 hours we are either seeing a warm front or a cold front move through. We haven’t had 3 days of stable weather in weeks.

Fished a small lake 3 out of last five days .. today being the slowest . Ran 15+ tipups between 4 ppl and we caught idk 6fish . Two trips prior are totals were 30+pickerel 3 pike . So idk i think it depends on the water your fishing as far as the moon goes

The past two weeks a lake that I've done very well on earlier in the season and all of last season has turned into the dead sea.  I've been all over the lake alone with about twenty other guys that fish there and everyone has the same experience, hardly marking any fish and the ones that you do mark the vast majority, I'd say 90% of them, have lock jaw.  I don't know what's changed for sure but maybe Petros is right about the yo-yo barometer.

I’m not sure about the moon but I have fished maybe a dozen times this year and yesterday and into the night was the best I had all year.
