Pink Moon (Fish Moon) 27th April 2021

#1 Post by Rod Tips »

Hi there. Do any of you have this moon phase in your calendar for angling?
I believe it's also a super moon. I'm very interested to hear about any of your views or plans around the date.
Thanks in advance

I nearly find they work against you - fish are scared to get caught out in shallower water, so dont come in as close, as the tide ebb rips back very fast
have seen rockling and sea scorpions get beached!

may not matter as much on deeper water

also if its really bright at night from the moon it never seems to work as well - for bait fishing anyway

Not to sure about a pink moon but full moon Iv had good and bad sessions on so I’m 50/50 split on it when I come to think of it Iv saw rope been taken on full moon in December from beach maybe less than 50 yards out
