Submitted by scottnofish on Mon, 2014-07-21 12:45
Planning to head over next month for 4 days , just after what moon phase people have had more success on , lead up to full moon or week after or new moon ? The last couple of trips have been around the full and fishing has been ok unil 2 days either side of the full moon when everything seems to shut down

Full moon - 3 days either side
Have always done brilliantly (despite my extreme doubts the first time I went out there as it was almost like daylight under the clear sky and full moon) but the fish went mad yet I know others on here hate the full so each to their own but oddly the full is normally a three fish day on the solunar tables

hey Neil, personally I dont even look but Ive been twice for 3 days over these school holidays and done well, I think each side of the full moon.
Sharks were a bit of a problem last week but have a look thru my two reports, there was fish to be found and not that far from where I saw you over there, maybe 2 miles.
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

No it's take your own
Water and fuel and no camping on the islands must sleep onboard

Cheers Scott, figured as much. Have been lucky enough to have a beer at a pub on one of the islands but figured that wouldn't be happening again either.
