Date: July 29, 2022 Body of Water: Casco Bay - Falmouth, Maine Moon Phase: Waxing Crescent Moon; New Moon plus one day Boat: None, shore fishing from landing float With: Alone Target: Striped Bass Time: 5 PM - 7:45 PM Conditions: Low tide at 6:30 PM. Clear; westerly wind in excess of 15 mph and about 85 degrees. Water was green; water temperature 68 degrees (+/-). After another long work week, a simple session with a couple of beers sounded appealing. A was otherwise engaged, and so I hit the landing float, alone. I had to deal with a fair amount of boat traffic from Friday merry-makers, but it was still peaceful. The fishing was relatively slow. I simply drifted suspended blood-worms. I went one-for-several chances, landing a smallish 20-incher (which I flubbed at my feet before I could get a picture), and getting rubbed off on a much nicer fish that ran to the right and inshore. Barnacles on the dock wore through my leader before I could appropriately reposition myself during the fight. I missed a couple of light bites, too. All the action occurred between approximately 6:20 and 7:05 PM, basically from slack low and into Quadrant IV. What do I have to say about this? I think I should have done a little better with my execution, and the session left a bit of a sour taste. I expect perfection, and I know that's neither realistic nor healthy. With a pretty open weekend, I hope to put this behind me. Pondering the questions of core essence and finding meaning in unexpected ways
