CONSIDER THIS; when the moon is directly overhead, the ground beneath our feet is raised as much as a foot. If lunar gravity can influence the solid ground that much, just think what effect it must have on water and on fish that live there. Many anglers believe that most fish spawning activity is somehow keyed to the full or dark moon. Records confirm these times as the periods of strongest tides as well as of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. When compared with complete lunar data, the international gamefish Associations world records set over a ten year period indicate that 73 percent of these fish were caught within a three day period on either side of the day of a full or new moon. In fact the long standing 1932 world record largemouth came just two days before a full a moon. Bass Fishing Orlando Florida.
