of course, we may not be comparing apples with apples. As everyone who knows me will testify, I'll do anything to avoid jigging at 140m - unless the jig only weights 200g!!

Guys, that is an interesting one with a fair variety of opinion.
One thing I know for sure, If the full tide is an 2 hours before sunset and the full moon is 2 to 3 days away the GTs go absolutely nuts at my spots an hour before and after the full tide. Have NEVER failed with this set of circumstances.

From the research I've done, most guys over in WA seem to be targeting them on a New Moon. This time also has lots of tidal movement. I've heard people report GT's going off the bite when a full moon comes out (at night).
Wong Kai Zhee:
lots of mysteries about the moon, ppl turning into wloves, its relationship to crime rate.
since the tide movement are both big during full/new moon, anyone actually experienced any different in the way fish behave?
this is where i check for moon phase:

My experience over many years is that different types of fish react differently to the big tides. Generally, the predators, particularly the bigger fish, become more aggressive but the smaller more cautious types of fish like bream become even more cautious than usual
