Date: August 28, 2021 Body of Water: Casco Bay, Falmouth, Maine Moon Phase: Full Moon plus six days; waning gibbous moon Tides: High Tide at 4:08 PM Boat: None, shore fishing from landing float With: A Target: Striped Bass Time: 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM Conditions: Cloudy and about 65 degrees F; light, south; water temperatures about 68 After a long week and a day of chores, A and I hit the float to simply relax. Of course, I floated a worm, just in case! Pretty much as expected with the high stage of tide, nothing happened for quite a while. Just as I was telling A about last year's big fish (or was it two years ago?), which came on a worm and was the only bite of the day at the end of 13 hours of effort day, my float disappeared. I caught the little guy (16 or 17 inches) and was pleased enough to have made his acquaintance. Since the clock indicated that we'd just entered Quadrant II, sunset was imminent, and we still had worms, we stayed a bit longer. After a couple of pesky pull-downs by non-bass (it looked like some pogies were present), I connected with another heavier fish. This one woke up and pulled some drag before the hook pulled. It had been too pleasant to get too upset about a missed opportunity. But the mosquitos were now out in force, and it was time to go! What do I have to say about this? I am not used to relaxing to this extent while fishing. But this was probably the best use of our time, and with summer quickly fading, we decided to make the most of it! Plus, I still had all of the following day to make something happen. Pondering the questions of core essence and finding meaning in unexpected ways
