At Crappie U. recently Barry Morrow briefly mentioned that a new moon really brings the fish to the shallows to spawn. On the other hand I once had a great conversation with Todd Huckabee re: The Spawn vs. water temperature and moon phase and he seemed convinced that the full moon puts them in the mood like right now! I don't have enuf experience to have a strong opinion but I'm gonna start paying attention. I know some of you scientists keep records from past years- what do you think?
