Super Moon? Will this effect the tides, if so how much?

essentially it is going to be much closer than normal thus having a much more distiguishable pull on the waters? do you think this may lead to good fishing or cause them to become more active?

FullMoons, leading up to and days after have been historically SLOW. The large tidal swings quickens the drift speed. Both these factors together equate to Not Good Fishing. I have kept a log the past 5yrs. and each season we've hit it durring these types of conditions and EVERY TIME I swear I am not gonna fish it on Fullmoons.
 

I maybe wrong, but big minus tide is sturgeon tides

I'm clamming. Gonna hunt a geoduck.

yep. It's my only day to get out though, so I'll be hoping to bust the cycle (just like the last 5 times)

We hit BH once with the same moon, and I caught nada BUT I remember Freddie landed a big hali that day.

I remember getting my 36"Halibut knocked off the Biggest Fish list that day  Don't get me wrong, fish will be caught, but it will just be super slower than usual.

That was your fish he smacked?  I remembered someone got knocked, just couldn't remember whose fish he beat out! Ah, good ole days.
