During the waning full moon phase two fish feeding migrations develop both in duration and intensity at the same time. This is the perfect scenario for both the early morning and late evening anglers, although the later group's success rate will be greater due to the fact that water temperatures along shoreline areas will be the optimum degree for triggering the entire food-chain to feed. ...more
