Adam,
I don't reckon it's better to fish for squid during a full moon, at least not at night...a little while back I was fishing for squid off piers 3-4 nights a week, and during a full moon I was catching zilch! Compared to >4 on most other nights.
But I have heard that other fish bite well during full moons.
My theory about the squid is that during a full moon there is enough light around for them to find their prey without using the pier lights, therefore pier catches during this time are down.
That's my 2 cents worth anyway.....
