Couldn't sleep last night so I decided to walk down to the local pier with some basic gear for a few hours of the flood. The moon was a waxing gibbous and was very bright, I cast a shadow as I was walking down. There was absolutely no wind whatsoever and it was completely silent when I started fishing, aside from the various night creatures mucking about in the woods by the pier, quite relaxing yet I was on edge
. For the first 2 hours there wasn't a tap, apart from crabs stripping my baits. As dawn started to creep in eventually a few taps on both rods produced a dogfish and a decent flounder in quick succession, just after moonset I noticed, which made me think. Does anyone find that moonlight can affect night fishing? Or is it a well known fact and I'm just dumb? Thanks in advance
