Not quite sure. I know in St. Thomas they fish on the full moon. Somebody else may be able to chime in.

Just got off with a buddy who ran a boat down there for a season. He said doesnt really matter, just show up between December and April and you will catch fish.

I was just in Kona and got a 300lb Blue on the full moon.

We have a charter boat in Costa Rica and generally down here it is after the moon full or new. Guat. isn't that well known for marlin fishing though, more sails!
