guys i’m wondering what could be the effect of a full moon to fishermen’s catch? would a fisherman turn into a werewolf so he could catch more fish or the reverse?pls explain why the moon plays a crucial effect on the behavior of fishes to make the fishes more susceptible of being caught or is it the other way around?thanks!i hope i can catch one….or two.

Sport fishers have table that try to predict the times for best results. People ,at least most people, have limited time to enjoy things, and these tables help to give the best results. The tables usually relate to the species.

it has nothing to do with werewolves. the moon is responsible for tidal activity. the tides tend to get aquatic creatures closer to the surface of the ocean / sea hence making it easier to catch fish.

haha, I laughed out loud when I read that. Thank you.

If you’re talking about marine fisheries, then yes, the tidal information is important.

If you’re talking about land-locked bodies of water, it’s simply a matter of fish being able to see during a time when there are many insects. During a full moon, insects will be more active, and fish will be able to see better due to the increase in light.

The worst time to fish is the day after a full moon, because the fish ate their fill during the night and are all tired and un-interested in your bait.

Maybe it has to do with the sport fishes source of food? Maybe the fishes food becomes more active or more available during a certain lunar period?

the lunar tide theory is only applicable to marine fish.
and may be the effects of the tide are more prominent during full moon because full moon is a lunar phase that occurs when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun, and when the three celestial bodies are aligned as close as possible to a straight line.so, the sun’s effect on tides is also felt.

Fishes are in love on full moon, that’s why.
