Full Moon
Years ago, me and a friend used to look for the highest tide and the fullest moon and meet at the Carlsbad cliffs at 10pm for some late night fishing. We caught calico, sand bass, sargo, perch, shark, rays, bonito, you name it. The full moon had them feeding as long as long as it was bright. I wonder why more people don't fish AT NIGHT during a full moon. Maybe they do. I would love to fish La Jolla some night during a full moon if someone would go with me.
I have caught fish the day after a clear night full moon. But I will also say that the only times I have been completely skunked was the day after. One time me and the Johnson brothers didn't get a single bite all day after a full moon. That's three people who came home with the smell...and the Johnson brothers can fish! But I' sure that fish were being caught somewhere by people who knew what they were doing.
La Jolla full moon night fishing caravan! Who's in?
