Our first fishing trip since returning :)

Me and luke have just finished our second week back at work and have the weekend off together so we have decided to go fishing at chiddingstone castle :) we fished here a few times before we left & really enjoyed it. Its very calm and peaceful and nobody ever fishes here which always seems odd to us as its a really beautiful place to fish :) 

We decided not to get up at the crack of dawn as we had been everyday this week so we got to the castle around 10 and found a spot in the corner near the bridge. Its was a warm day but the clouds and breeze made it a little chilly for me ! So luke set up the bivy and bed chair for me! I love it ! Fishing is so relaxing, i love sitting in the bivy with my magazines or the ipad just chilling and after a couple of hours i get up and have a fish :) i love it.

....perfect relaxation for me 

Lukes hobbie has always been fishing he loves it and is very good at it, and i love that he has taught me and we can do it together :) so as luke sets up we spot loads of carp, more then we have seen here before! Theres at least 10 swimming around together and we saw a few lunking out of the water ! Pretty much as soon as luke had set up the rod was going! And he had his first carp! There not a bad size in here either ! Luke was catching fish all day and i even caught a couple! It was great fun :)

We spent the whole day here and luke caught over 20 fish! I love watching him fish its very therapeutic! The fish he caught here were also very pretty and some looked like they hadnt been caught much! We had a lovely picnic and chatted about our trip......reminissing! It was just what we needed after a long week ....a day fishing!
