PONDERING CORE ESSENCE
NUMENON |
The Maritime skiff had enjoyed a long winter of pampered self-improvement. Her bottom was painted and a Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor was installed on her bow. Even the trailer was in tip-top shape as I topped off the tire pressure and verified full lighting functionality. By Easter Sunday 2023, she was ready to go, as was I! The weather was clear and bright, and A chose to join me. We were joined on Mousam Lake by at least one bald eagle and a couple of pairs of loons. We had the lake mostly to ourselves, and I even convinced four trout to eat, landing a couple of pretty browns to about 15 inches. We were surprised by some ice remaining on the lake. Fortunately, the ice bridge confining us to the southernmost portion of the lake broke up with some late-morning wind and sunshine. The north end was still totally locked in, and so I didn't get to fish the water I had thought about all winter. We still ended up having plenty of water to explore. Water temperatures were just 38 - 40 degrees F, and so the bite was marginal. Still, it was a rewarding trip to start the season, and pretty much problem-free. There's a lot to look forward to, and based on the performance of the trolling motor (including Spot-Lock), I've got a lot to look forward to in 2023. Pondering the questions of core essence and finding meaning in unexpected ways
