For anyone who wants a truly relaxing holiday, you’d have to go some to beat a week spent fishing somewhere nice and sunny.
The huge advantage to a fishing holiday is, of course, that not only are you many miles away from the grind of work and personal life, but you can spend your days on a riverbank or boat, challenging yourself against the best that the marine world can throw at you.
It may not feel relaxing when you are going mano a mano against a fish that weighs the same as a sledgehammer, but for the rest of the time, it’s bliss.
Fishing holidays are big business in this day and age – with people feeling that the everyday grind of work is something that can build into a major stress problem. There is something endlessly relaxing about being next to a great body of water, it is almost therapeutic.
If you can get rid of some of the stresses by battling to land a larger fish, then so much better. It is this kind of experience that makes a holiday memorable, after all.
The big question for you, however, is where to go, and what kind of fishing you enjoy plays a big part in this. If you are keen on sea fishing, then one of the major areas of coastline in the world might be just perfect. If you are more of a riverbank aficionado, then somewhere more rural will be a better idea.
In the end, it is up to you, and the main thing is that you enjoy yourself.
