Fishing By The Moon Phases

I went fishing during the overcast, the light rain during the full Moon phases. Let's say I've seen weird people during this time as a kid when pumping gas at night.

At one if my local hot spots I stood in one spot and fan casted the whole area and caught 19 bass. During this time I felt something looking at me. There was a doe with her two games in the road right near me standing there watching me. Now between the bass I caught two white and pink fish that looked like sunfish in size and shape. I have no clue as to what they were to this day.

On my way home I stopped at another local hot spot to make few more casts. I caught two 2 1/2 to 3lb smallies and one large mouth bass the same size. I never seen smallies in the 15 years I been fishing this place.

The only lure I used was a Joe's Fly 1/4oz bass size inline spinner in his firetiger apache. It has that Colorado spoon for thump. For low light conditions or overcast times this color rocks. I just don't understand we're the weird colored fish came from. If there released fish from someone's fish tank how do they survive our cold winters? I've seen 22" thick of ice on during the winters here. I just don't understand it to this day.

On full Moon phases all the animals come to life besides the fish too in the low light of course. I'm thinking that everything puts the feed bag on at this time.

It was a full moon, maybe they were werefish.
