I really think that the full moon the night before affected fishing.

Bummer about the poor trip... better than a skunking though.
Interesting that you mention the moon phase. Just getting into fishing stillwaters for trout a few years back I've tried to read/absorb as much info as possible and several authors/anglers/experts recommend staying away from the lakes during a full moon period, especially for larger fish.
Seems strange given that full (and new) moons are usually a contributing factor to great fishing for warmwater species in lakes and reservoirs.
