Midcoast Maine Stripahs, Thomas Paine and George Gershwin...

Woke up this AM at high tide and my first reaction was, These are the tides that try men's souls... Took some time heading out and managed a 20" and a 26" fish in my backyard. Decided to head out into the bay and check another estuary. Got out there and got excited as there were splashes, but they turned out to be pogies. Started moving a bit and looked behind me only to see bass breaking where I was not more than 5 min ago. Thought I might be spending the entire morning thinking is that Pogie or Bass? Picked a fish up there and went back to my backyard, where I picked up another...

Tough morning for fish, but a beautiful morning to be out...
