For more than 10 years I have not picked up a fishing line, something that I used to do virtually every holiday for all of my young life. Then, while chatting with my brother who is still a keen fisherman, he offered to take me fishing.
With my dad and my cousin, both keen fishermen, also invited we had a team of four to go fishing. It was a one day excursion, leaving at 4am in the morning and returning early afternoon, and although I did not get a great amount of fish or anything spectacular, it was great to just hang out and enjoy this activity with family.
Here are the photos of our time there...

I also put down the camera (sometimes) and enjoyed waiting for a fish to jump on my line.
Joseph finishes of yet another cast as the day wears on.

Mike walks down the beach looking for another "hot" spot.
Bored with fishing for a while, I take to the sand dunes behind us and climb them to the top.
A bird's eye view of Mike fishing down on the beach.
As soon as the fish get cut and cleaned, the birds start hanging around for a feed.
Dad packs up his stuff and calls it a day, after some very nice catches of fish.
A very happy fisherman.
