Now that is the 64 thousand dollar question. Both are good for sure but I tend to prefer the full moon just from the stand point you can see some what depending on cloud cover which makes fishing a bit easier. Fishing the new moon can be really tough -- there is no light at all and judging your distance to the bank is difficult. You look at your graph and it blinds you. I have caught fish on both phases but I prefer the light. To be honest I prefer any phase as long as I get a chance to go. :-)
