Full Moon Tides

Sorry for the lack of editorial content lately. Been busy with getting ready for the holidays and editing the local fly fishing newsletter. ...
Fished near Picnic Island two days last week. Had one real nice day and it would have been better had I been sharper seeing the fish sooner. However, the second day, I was focused and fished well. I located cruising reds and made the casts I needed to make -- when I needed to make them -- but it didn't matter. The fish wanted nothing to do with my fly. My theory is the first trip I caught the full moon cycle early; the second trip, though only three days removed, was late in the full moon cycle. My guess is the fish fed early in the week, but we got a few consecutive full moon nights, the bite was off because the fish were full.
