Light of a full moon?

(1/2) > >>

stripernut:
We don't have many Walleye here in MA, but in the last few years I am starting to get some! I do a lot of bass fishing at night and over the years I never do as well when the moon is up and bright (shadow of a hill and the bass are hitting again!). So the question is, does the light of a bight moon cut down the walleye bite? Should I do something different on a bright night? Thanks
I  search the site and most of the info was on the best fishing times in the calendar... For me the best fishing times is when I can get on the water!

I feel like I always do best when there is either a 100% moon phase or a 0% moon phase

Water Wolf:
I have had had better night fishing luck closer to the full moon when the sky is clear and the moon is brightly shining on the water.
I feel the bight moon might simulate the light levels of sunset or sunrise.

Has to do with the dang ol solar phases planets lining up at the right time with the perfect barometric pressure. Only in those conditions wil you achieve the perfect night bite

stripernut:
Funny, I was out the other night for bass and they would only hit when the moon was behind the clouds or shaded by a hill side, but that is bass not walleye!
