I'm going to go with Brian on this one. In going over my journal from last year I had some killer fishing on a full moon at Cachuma but 6 days prior "not Dead on" and 3 days after. I did some Albacore trips last year and in July dead on the full moon out of Ciscos we nailed something like 265 30 pounders yet on the next full moon it was deader than a doornail as I was hot hand with 6 fish. The difference was no light the night before on the July trip as it was very,very foggy. My last Albacore trip was a two day out of San Diego and there where many Vetrans there who swore that the Bluefin would attack us yet only One was taken...Hurricane was to blame for the Bluefin as we wiped out the YellowTail and Albacore. From my observations the Lunar influx seems to make much more of a difference Period. Wheather it's negitive or positive I think is specie specific and also a time of year thing.

my 02.
