I have written in the past about how great it is to work with true professionals. They accomplish what they are there to do with a minimum of fuss and make it all seem simple, almost effortless. I work with the concierge at the Samoset pretty closely over the course of the summer. We work together arranging trips, answering questions and helping folks to have the vacation they dream of. I have come to respect the ladies who perform that role at the Samoset Resort in Rockport. They are very knowledgeable; always looking to help and my every interaction with them is a pleasure.
I have been reading for some time about how much better circle hooks are for fishing bait for large fish like stripers. So when I last went to buy hooks to use on my family fishing trips I saw a package of circle hooks in a size that were well suited to the perch and sunfish that I catch. I thought that I would give the new hooks a try.
The last few days have been very busy and enjoyable. I have fished with a number of families and groups of friends. One of the best parts of what I do is being part of life long memories. I do my best to make sure that they are happy ones. One thing that I always tell the parents on a family fishing trip is that they may have started a lifelong interest for their kids and that I may be the standard that every future trip is measured against.
