Fish, Ducks and weed cutting

Well after a bit of a struggle we have managed to move our office, go fishing, and fit in a huge amount of work.

Strimming and oh yes strimming....

Firstly was our last trip out with captain Ivan, a couple of weeks ago, blessed with flat calm seas, glorious sunshine and a few good fish to make for a great day out.

Codtastic.......

Simon (the Cod) as he is now known, started the day off Mackerel fishing only to catch a Cod, we then went Cod fishing and he caught a few more, and to round the day off we went in search of a Turbot, and yes you guessed it, Simon had another Cod.

We all had Cod for tea, but Eddie had family for supper and took a large Turbot home with him, seriously well angled on his carp rod!

Turbot time.....

The weed growth has been outstanding this summer, in all fairness we have only just kept up with it all, rewarding but hard work!

At least we can chat about our work to like minded people, the cows just presume we are all slightly bonkers.

The Mayfly fishing this year has been outstanding, massive hatches, truly huge falls of spinners in the late evenings, could this be a result of the extra silt we are all so very concerned about???

We have been planting a new conservation lake with native plants, helping out with a duck race with the DDAS raising money for the Air Ambulance, that was a fun day!

The Ducks on the left were just going over a pod of 2lb Grayling.
