I believe the moon plays a big part in fishing cycles but fish do have to eat and when ever they get a chance.
location ,duration of feeding times and depths are all variables affected by moon phase.
Squid tend to be a bit quite on a full moon ( although I and a client bagged out today) but the following days after a full moon when the tides have their greatest difference is when they go nuts.
Some believe squid hunt better at night with the aid of moon light and I tend toeward this theory.
The southwest coast of Victoria also has dodge tides where we on the central coast have 4 in a 24 hr. period..
