Why do fisherfolks catch more fish during new moon than on full moon?

Fisherfolks often catch more fish during a new moon because the darker skies and reduced light levels encourage fish to come closer to the surface to feed, making them more accessible. Additionally, the gravitational pull of the moon during a new moon can enhance tidal movements, which may stimulate fish activity. In contrast, during a full moon, brighter conditions can make fish more cautious and less likely to venture out, leading to lower catch rates.
