They come inshore to feed, breed and die. My working theory is that the full moons draw them in from offshore following the flush of bait and currents. However, as was said, the bright full moon over the whole bay doesn't concentrate the bait into large balls like a flood light does, so it makes it harder to catch the squid chasing the bait. If you have a boat or a kayak, you can go around with your fish finder looking for the squid and have great success. However, those of us less fortunate shore-bound anglers seem to have better luck under dark skies. So, if it is dark on Sat. night, it would probably be a great night, however, it's supposed to be stormy with an offshore low pressure system pushing up the coast, so I expect that it will be rough and choppy and wet out there. For my part, I will be drinking homebrew and eating roast pig instead of fishing/squidding.
