Anyone have any thoughts on this?...

Inshore fishing is usually best when the current is ripping.

Inshore currents are often related to tide swings.

The larger the tide swing the more current.

When do the largest tide swings of the months occur?

Answer around the xxxx moon and xxx moon.

So what does this mean?

Didn't want to spell it out for anyone but this is exactly what I was eluding to. Currents generally stronger around the full and new moon. Current is very important for the bite.

I feel like the current is generally too strong on the day of the full moon. But the dates around it is another story.
