PONDERING CORE ESSENCE
NUMENON |
Once again, I was fortunate to have shared the week of July 4 with family in Maine. It was a beautiful week filled with good food, celebrations and fishing. My fishing approach here remains simple; throw spoons for mackerel and provide some bait options for striped bass. Most importantly, be there when the fish are! Secondarily, be persistent! I continue to be amazed at how many bass there must be; I will have a good number of chances while basically standing in a single spot; and this, a spot selected based on access, not necessarily on what the fish might demand. 2018 was no exception. There were many bass to be caught. Perhaps not as many as in previous years (it was super hot and water temperatures skyrocketed through the bass' preferred range), but still enough to keep me more than interested. Mackerel were completely absent (it got to a point where I no longer even threw a spoon), and the average bass was on the smaller side. But, I've accepted that I can't really control those factors; all I can do is capitalize on the chances that are available. Hopefully I do so while enjoying and appreciating the setting, scenery and wildlife. I could choose to chase these fish elsewhere during my stay; but our landing always seduces me into staying and settling in. A detailed log of the actual fishing can be found above under NumenonFunFishing, but with this post, I would simply like to celebrate the week. Pondering the questions of core essence and finding meaning in unexpected ways
