Default Moon Perigee & Apogee affecting Hydrometer Reading

The calendar I have right now has the "poor, good, and best" fishing days
shown on each day. The cycle of fishing rates coresponds to the cycles of
the moon. The poor days centre around the full moon, the best days centre
around the new moon. I think it's is based on the idea that fish will feed
at night under the full moon, but not in the dark under a new moon, thus
making your day of fishing better or not.
