Full Moon Fishing?
« on: Jan 23, 2010, 06:40 AM »
Anyone ever heard that it is better fishing during a full moon? Anyone believe it? Anyone ever test the theory?
It's going to be a full moon on the 30th at Moosehead. Just thought I might have a chance if it were true. I'm better at
drinking then at fishing.



And I'm not talking about the kind of full moon (crack) that was talked about at Sabattus

Same here, i have never had great luck on a full moon,we have even fished all night for Trout, nothing to get excited about. But it still beats TV.

If majority rules then the fishing should stink for the Moosehead derby. Good thing I'm better at drinking! :-\
Thanks for your input
