(yeah, I'm responding after 4years! lol)
I was out tonight with a pretty full moon. The water was really clear and nothing to be had.
I'm thinking it's probably a bad time to fish because there's so much light for them to see, and be seen. More moonlight means more hunting time at night and they've either eaten their fill, found new/other places to hunt, or are hiding from predators (or been eaten themselves already!)
Lots of factors, but there's no disputing the full moon makes for bad night squidding in my mind

Never happier than on a quiet pier, on a cold, dark, wet night, with a bucket to sit on, pole in hand and a fully charged iPod.
