I have tried to pay attention very closely in the past on how the fish react whenever we have a full moon. The one thing that has helped me notice their behavior is road fishing. You are very limited in road fishing on where you can go. So many times I will be where I know the fish are at and wait out the bite window. It seems that the days leading up the full moon especially during the summer the trout go crazy. Now for fishing the day after a full moon, you will have sometime of morning bite. Then I have always noticed fishing will pick back up around mid day. A lot of time after a full moon the bite window is also a bit shorter. I saw this in this past weekend release over 20 tournament. It was a live leaderboard so you could see whenever everyone else was catching fish. Everyone caught good til about 8 and then almost no fish were weighed in for almost 4 hours. At 12:30 I got on a good bite and ended up catching a limit. I checked the live leaderboard and everyone else was catching again too. Seems to be more of a mid day bite day after a full moon.
