Date: September 4, 2021 Body of Water: Casco Bay, Falmouth, Maine Moon Phase: New Moon minus three days; waning crescent moon Tides: Low Tide at 3:52 AM; High at 10:04 AM Boat: Shore fishing from landing float at first; then amybaby22; finishing on float With: Alone Target: Striped Bass Time: 5:00 AM - 1:00 PM Conditions: Bright and clear; about 75 degrees F; brisk NW wind; water temperatures about 63 +/- (Somehow I seem to have deleted the text for this post, although the above conditions summary is correct, and the pictures below are proper ... I'll see if I can reconstruct. Otherwise, know that it was a solid, double-digit session in which I zoomed past 200 stripers for the season.) I hit the dock with a goal of landing eight stripers. That would get me to 200 for the season. Eight in a session is a tall order, but equipped with bloodworms and given the Quadrant III conditions, it seemed within reach. I left the float shortly after 6 AM, with ten landed on blood-worms, including fine 30- and 27-inchers. I felt like it was time to explore with the boat! My catch rate on the boat suffered, but I caught fish on tube-and-worms; live mackerel; and missed a bluefish, too. I fished the last half hour or so from the float, combating the brisk wind and bright skies with fresh mackerel chunks. A tail chunk paid off with the capture of a beautiful, mid-day bonus bass of 25 inches or so. What do I have to say about this? One cannot argue that fourteen stripers on four different techniques in a single session is not an agreeable formula! Having caught No. 200, my next goal was No. 210, which would establish a new season-record catch for me. I wouldn't have to wait long, the next morning's tide was favorable! Pondering the questions of core essence and finding meaning in unexpected ways
