Happy birthday Davey, I would have thought you were a mere young'un compared to Dougy - must have many fishing years ahead of you yet!! Chris is still fishing hard in our club - puts many anglers half his age to shame when it comes to fishing up & down the country & getting bait.

Enjoy your birthday, have fun with Dougy watching the footy & come out into the winter season feeling re-invigorated - who knows, he might even drag you round the golf course one of these days

Happy Birthday Dave,
I have to say you have a fair few good years left.
One of our committee members had his 80th birthday this month and he is a legend.
Not only is his angling knowledge unsurpassed but he is a fantastic role model and devoted member of our club.
We are a Fly fishing club and he is out surveying our 22 miles of water checking that anglers are "permitted" to fish; on a daily basis.
Our Riparians contact him if there is any issue with a trout rod on their water and he knows the laws as he probably wrote most of them.
The years fly by but it is the years to come that are the most exciting.

Enjoy your day knowing that - I would love to hear from you and any advice you have for me, I'm not too old to learn.

Apparently I'm still a lad at 44 (fishing for 33 of them) ...

Hi Dave,
Plenty of years left to fish yet, just got to pace yourself. You can't go running around like a young thing! Joe Dent is 84 and is still doing well in club comps and the odd open. I turned 60 this month, but it looks like it will be another 5 years until I'll be joining you fishing on the pier!
All the best mate.
Regards Sam

Only been in this game for a few years and would like/hope to think that I still have the drive for it as you do at your age Davey

Tynemouth was the first club that really got me into the "club" scene and while I admit that match fishing isn't for everyone it is for me and I reccomend any angler wanting to fine tune their skills to join a club as it makes you think outside the box at times when you coulld be tempted to sit in the same spot chucking out the same baits hour after hour - anglers like Dave are always willing to share and teach if asked nicely

here's to another 20 years Dave and no doubt you'll still be fishing the matches then too
