Anywhere around a full/new moon our fishing productivity picks up, good time to throw a fat bastard.  Edited by Cranker 7/28/2015 9:04 AM | |||

| not always a specific trigger...I'd be on a trophy spot moonrise/sunset in MN on a full moon in the summer though! Ive seen it happen enough you cant overlook a moonrise in the summer. I will say.. The moon is a little over hyped, its not a "magic wand" but its worth paying attention to., and some lakes more than others...Lake like LOTW im always on a good spot so I don't worry about it much there ..Vermilion or Mille Lacs you need all the advantages you can get - I actually often will avoid full moons in the summer anymore.. everyone has "read" its magic so lakes are often busier..

Posts: 1906 Location: Oconto Falls, WI | Travisbrady86 - 7/27/2015 6:46 PM Hey, I'm planning a 3 or 4 day trip up to northern Wisconsin in October to fish my usual spots up there. Been going to this lake a few years now, and we've gone every week throughout October and into November over the years. I'm interested in seeing if there is any preference for planning a trip around either moon phase period. I realize local weather will trump any predictable moon phase activity, but since we cannot predict the weather so far in advance, the moon phase is the only variable I can plan around and hopefully have somewhat of an edge. We will be fishing all day, every day, and most likely do some night fishing as well. suicks, depthraiders, bulldawgs and ro tubes. suckers obviously. Any input is appreciated. Thanks. Travis I would look at your past results, take the best one, and see what the moon was like. New moon or full moon doesn't much matter. I would take new,but that's because the full I will probably be in a tree stand. Trying to plan a full with low 40's water temps, in Oct...might as forget it. It is a rarity, and not something you could plan. Johnnie has some pretty good wisdom. | ||

| I think the "chatter" has more to do with the cisco spawn and trophy muskies following them... cisco's really like to spawn around the full moon when water temps are right.. The full moon this November is the 25th... lakes with cisco could freeze by then...with the full moon falling on Oct 27th this year -I'd pick that week for sure...years full moon is one of first two weeks of November would be a good consideration too.. These are generalizations with lakes with cisco... I fish a lake with shad and the November full moon has no effect what so ever on making fishing any better... the shad could care less | |||
