This is where I get a little fuzzy:
Now I believe also that the new moon can be considered a secondary peak. Not nearly as strong of a lunar influence as a full moon but a peak none the less. And the 3 days post and prior to the new moon will be less influential as their full moon counterparts.

Then again I could just be full of it?:D
Was hoping to hear something like this. Kind of makes sense that would be the case. Most of my fishing in the past has been done with a speargun offshore. In recent years I've done inshore angling for trout, flounder and redbass. I've always has rotten luck at the time of a full moon with those species. However I hear from the locals that the full moon is tops for the black drum.
