Date: July 4, 2022 Body of Water: Casco Bay - Falmouth, Maine Moon Phase: Waxing Crescent Moon; New + six days Boat: amybaby22 With: Alone Target: Striped Bass Time: 10 AM - 1 PM Conditions: Low tide at 9:23 AM. Clear; WNW wind in about 10 mph and about 75 degrees. Water was green; water temperatures 63 - 65 degrees (+/-). Another late start; I started just after low tide in the gut of Broad Cove with a tube-and-worm. Although water temperatures remain favorable here, there were no fish to be had, so I prospected around The Nubble and its associated rock piles. The tube still went untouched. I found what I thought to be a pile of fish on a break in about 15 feet of water. They responded to neither the tube-and-worm nor a jigged Ben Parker flutter spoon. I relocated to Sturdivant for another unsuccessful pass with the worm before resorting to mackerel. I found none in the channel by Basket, but eventually found a pair of singles in the deep water off the north/east end of Clapboard. I swam these off Clapboard's rocky coast, and each was hit, but neither was eaten. Things just were not active in the mid-day sun. What do I have to say about this? This was a pleasant-enough trip, but I am worn out by the intense sun and family events. I expected to return later in the day under better conditions, but it was just too tempting to close out this long weekend in the cool quiet of my home. The fishing seems slower than I'd expect. I assume the bait situation will settle into a pattern, and maybe that will make the bass more predictable. But I am starting to wonder if the stock is noticeably down. Time will tell... Pondering the questions of core essence and finding meaning in unexpected ways
