FULL Moon - Any difference at the end of the spear?

[PikeSticker]

Everyone has checked the sol-lunar tables, the dots on your tide tables (opps, sorry inlanders), and the fishing computer built into some GPS units for best fishing times. Fishing seems to be best during full moons  as well as nearly as good during the new moon two weeks later based on these sources of information.

Spearos know that we don't need to get the pike to bite. Only prey on its hidden weakness as being curious as a cat coming to a moving object to have good success. That's probably the best reason why I love to spear compared to fishing - they don't need to be hungry, only curious.

Now I'm curious, have any of you noticed more fish movement into your hole (pike as well as other species) during the full moon phases and better success?  Personally I recall a few years ago a rising full moon right at sundown where we couldn't keep 13 tip ups baited and in the water fast enough as the moon came over the horizon. We put 14 on the ice in 45 mins and lost as many on empty flags. Before that we fished those tip ups for 5 hours during the morning and early afternoon with only a single fish.

Sunday is the full moon. Keep an eye out.

  Whew, I'm lucky if I can keep track of how mayn beres I'd drunkn... !! 
  Tides on the big water I get, Solunar tables always seemed a bit voodoo to me...Though I've been proven wrong many times in my life.
   Any knowledge you can add to the equation, will further understanding, and success.  I do keep a log of conditions, location, fish seen etc, but haven't taken moon phase into consideration as far as spearing.  So, I too am interested to see moon related effect info...Every little bit helps!!

Wow PikeSticker, it looks like you really want to figure them fish out  . I would love to say that I have found out when fish will be active and when they wont but I can't figure it out either and the only thing I can say is that "fish are active when fish are active". A few things I really believe changes there activity are Spawning,feeding,habitat,and the weather, but I'm not even sure what weather turns them on and off 

The only thing I'm completely sure of is that you are more likely to get a fish when your on the water than when your on your couch...........Dam it woman bring me some fish sticks

I honestly have never paid one ounce of attention to it.
Weather systems seem to play a big role for me. Seems the trailing edge of a low pressure systems sucks!

my biggest northerns have came in during the new moon phase and as weather goes i've found that in the summer just before a large storm moves in is my best time for brook trout fishing my biggest caught in a creek being 18 inches was caught while the storm was coming in and could actually hear the thunder so i believe weather is a huge factor
