Full Moon Fishing Good or Bad? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The panga captains that I pump for info in Baja always tell me "pesca la luna jena en la noche for corvina grandes, cabrone" and I always tell them "estoy muy borracho en la noche, cabrones". I do remember a BWE poster a few years ago having success with the full moon WSB at La Jolla.

back east striped bass generally did not bite in tight to shore during a full moon. Many fisherman avoided it, although technically the high tides around the full work toward moving bait fish and keying in feeding for predators

The Bonito don't seem to mind the moon. I hooked up three this morning on greenbacks. Also caught one nice Rockfish, which I sent back down to his lair.

It was super foggy this morning. I paddled out at six into pea soup and headed for the pier. I didn't even see the pier till it was almost on top of me. The fog cleared by 7:30 and it turned into another super nice morning.

Got home late morning to resume the job search.
