    I read somewhere that fish take advantage of a full moon to feed at night, using the moonlight to help them find prey. Therefore, the days during a full moon, fish are already full and don’t feed during the day. So there are normally 3 days of full moon where the bite is turned off. The opposite would be true for a new moon (bite turned on).

    • @dormantmenace
      @dormantmenace 6 місяців тому +3

      Ya I always just assumed they fed all night In that full moon light as well.

    • @kevinvue8159
      @kevinvue8159 6 місяців тому +2

      It’s partially true, But it doesnt mean you wouldnt catch any during the day. You still have your bite windows of low lights. It just enables fish to feed at night better. All fish feed all day. Its just that they have better opportunities during low light conditions. Which is why those bite windows happen to be during low light.

    • @MagnusSentDooM
      @MagnusSentDooM 6 місяців тому

      Makes sense, especially since in this video he wasn't getting any bites in the morning. Closer to afternoon was when he started getting more bites

    • @PythonDad
      @PythonDad 6 місяців тому

      Yep, most predatory fish have very good sight. They are much better at distinguishing subtle differences in coloring and patterns in low light than we are (and better than most terrestrial animals in general). Bass are pretty good at seeing their prey in the dark period, and the full moon just makes it easier.

  • @cloutmaster965
    @cloutmaster965 6 місяців тому +3

    When the moon is down during the full or new moon during a clear day is when the big ones feed according to butch brown. Right after it sets or right before it rises is a great window. Night fishing during a full/new moon is spectacular and so are the days leading up to them and afterwards. Tactical bassing has a 10+ year old video on moon phases for night fishing which i have found to be 100% accurate in my fishing. Full moon nights best for dirtier lakes, new moon nights are best in clear lakes(Only time when fish are totally invisible for long periods), but both are still good.

  • @terrymitchell7714
    @terrymitchell7714 6 місяців тому +1

    Greg, When i tournament fished many years ago, the club would schedule night tournaments during July and August on a full moon. The reasoning for this was due to the high fish kill in the live well during day tournaments. The fishing at night was normally pretty good. Great video as usual. Thanks

  • @neiljohnsen276
    @neiljohnsen276 6 місяців тому +1

    I agree with the moon concept. I have never done well during the full moon. The fish are definitely post spawn. I've been to Berryessa three weeks in a row. The bite is better in the afternoon, when the wind kicks up. Tight lines!

  • @JamesJohnson-bz2zd
    @JamesJohnson-bz2zd 6 місяців тому +1

    Hi Greg, we were at Melones yesterday and the bite was very tough in the morning, but as soon as the wind picked up from 12-1, the bite was on 🔥. The bass started chasing the school of baits. It became a 20+ fish within that time frame and we left the lake still biting.

  • @lizsmith9948
    @lizsmith9948 6 місяців тому +1

    I totally agree about the full moon affecting the fishing the next day; I think the bass gorge themselves at night under a full moon. Our tournaments have been a grind the next day. Greg, you had a slow day on Berryessa, yet those few fish you caught were nice and round. Those are the days that I enjoy the scenery and admire a pretty day on the lake. We may lose fish, but we don't lose a gorgeous day. 😊

  • @ShouldBeWorkin
    @ShouldBeWorkin 6 місяців тому +1

    I heard Scott Martin talk about swinging your rod from left to right or vice versa will cause you to lose fish if that makes sense. When you switch sides it changes the angle of the hook, that’s why you see pros running down the boat with fish. In a kayak it’s hard especially bed fishing so I try to give myself a little more room to fight the fish before it’s right beside the boat. IMO your options are either fight the fish further from the boat or heavy tackle and swing them in quick. Thanks for all your hard work and effort keeping us entertained. Tight lines from Syracuse.

    The Gilly hook up ratio- If you are using a medium heavy rod with the gilly, bump up to a heavy. When I first started fishing the gilly, I too had a lot get off when I was using a 7'6" mh fast action. I switched it to a small swim bait rod, 7'4" heavy fast, and it seems to have a much better hook up ratio. Loved the vid, absolutely beautiful lake.

  • @robertdunn5748
    @robertdunn5748 6 місяців тому

    I also agree with the bass feed at night because they can see better. The rule of thumb for salt water is it is slow, three days before and three days after a full moon. I believe same reason is they can see better and tide changes.

Also when I know I’m around them and they aren’t eating something slow then I go straight reaction I fish something so fast that they either have to eat it or move out of the way lol

And don't really plan anything around the moon phases. Beautiful lake and another great video Greg. Good luck to you and All the crew in the next tournament.🙂🍺👍

    Greg I had the same problem with those powerbait blue gills with hooking up and fish staying on. I lose more fish on those than any other bait I've used. Maybe try a different way of running a hook through it. You can try to nose hook it or possibly hook it the same way but have the hook go through the bottom part of the bluegill or through the top like offset
