Date: August 21, 2023 Body of Water: Casco Bay - Maine Boat: None - shore fishing from landing float With: Alone Target: Striped Bass Time: 6 AM - 7:30 AM Moon Phase: New plus five days; waxing crescent moon Tide: Low tide at 8:45 AM Conditions: Greasy calm and overcast, quiet and about 70 degrees. Water temperature about 65 degrees F. Quadrant II, but a bit too early for prime tide. With a few worms available for use, an "almost" tide, and with overcast conditions expected, I scored a pre-work session from the landing's float. For the most part, I was a bit too early for the best part of Quadrant II; the cross-bar on the landing dock was still submerged. In a conventional sense, I was a bit too late, too, having missed the pre-dawn period. But I knew fish were available, I had wonderful bait, and was there really anything better to do with my time before starting the work week? I managed just three bites in 90 minutes (6:35, 6:50 and 7:29 AM), but I converted and photographed all three opportunities. The fish averaged only 23 inches or so. That's a small Striper Cup limit, but it's an early start for what promises to be a very busy week. What do I have to say about this? I'm still realizing I live here in Maine and can do this when I so choose. It got my work week of to a good start! Pondering the questions of core essence and finding meaning in unexpected ways
