Fishing near a full moon?

[Cituan Rats]

What are the good or bad points when fishing close to or at a full moon. I mainly fish the sounds and jettys. Thanks

• Peak fishing activity
• good shrimping, when season is open
• good fishing on near shore reefs
• access to shallow flats for larger boats
• High tides
• swift currents
• muddy water
• usually lots of debris in the water

Just a few things I can think of...

3 days before, or after..

I try to avoid any tide differential >7.6 because of what WalkingDead mentioned in his last 3 bullets.

I have a mini skiff so I'm limited to fishing inshore, so I have to do the same. If high is 9.0, it's sketchy for me. When it's that high, I may go about mid-tide heading to low, and hunt for reds at low tide, then fish some of the incoming.

Just keep some concrete blocks for sinkers?

Night fishing is a lot easier as well.
