We fished the day after the "Strawberry Moon" of June 14, 2022 to see if bluegill spawning activity would increase/decrease according to the moon phase. Old timers and biologists alike claim that the bluegill spawn peaks during full moon phases throughout the summer. I have long believed that this is true in some, but not all, of the waters I fish. Let me know what you think and if you have seen similar results during the full-moon periods in the waters you fish.
