Oh the things you can learn!
It is odd how things circle in life. Earlier this season one of my clients mentioned that turtles were a food source for bald eagles. I had not heard that, but it makes perfect sense. Turtles sun on logs and rocks during warmer months while eagles fly overhead along waterways fishing. We see both on most freshwater fishing trips during the summer and early fall.

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.
