Date: May 21, 2024 Body of Water: Casco Bay - Falmouth, Maine Boat: None, shore fishing from landing float With: Alone Target: Stripers Time: 4:15 PM - 6:15 PM Tide: Low at 4:30 PM; mostly Quadrant III Moon Phase: Waxing gibbous moon, Full minus two days Conditions: Mixed sun, clouds and sprinkles; southerly breeze > 10mph diminishing to nearly calm; 60 degrees. Water temperatures in the upper 50s degrees F (+/-). Post-work fishing is always a treat, and I snuck out the door for the first time this Spring to catch a favorable tide. With a few leftover Lug Worms and fresh blood-worms in hand, I was in position just before low slack tide, with Quadrant III in the offing. I started with just a single rod, but after a few unanswered drifts, added a second. The bite developed slowly, but three bites in a 45-minute window (from about slack + 45 minutes through slack + 90 minutes) kept me happy enough. I converted each bite into a striper, with the last being the first "keeper" of the round season at just over 28 inches. What do I have to say about this? I took it pretty easy; I needed to be at my desk in Boston by 8 AM the next morning. Lug worms produced all three bites even though juicy blood-worms were presented simultaneously. My mooring was observed to be in place, and there are so many local osprey! Spring is progressing nicely! And a long weekend is approaching! Pondering the questions of core essence and finding meaning in unexpected ways
