Recent things in and out of the news have gotten me thinking about workplace credentials and when they are required or ignored. I have a few such credentials. First as a Master Maine Guide I have proven that I have the skills to safely take (and return with) members of the public into and onto the woods and waters of the state.
Clients often ask about my favorite trip, and I always respond that a family fishing trip is it hands down. Here in the middle of the summer I do a lot of family trips mostly with young kids but many where the children are older and sometimes the grands are included. I enjoy the young kid trips the most.
I knew this might happen at some point actually it even seemed likely a couple of times but it was the first for me yesterday. Fishing with clients for stripers in shallow water with big poppers wind was blowing but it was not especially rough just enough of a chop to limit how well the poppers showed up.
