Hi Guys, I haven't been on here for many years, ( I was known back in the day as Norrie ) .....but was told about Daves passing by Elton....geez, the end of an era...what a lovely, lovely guy...I had the pleasure of fishing with him many times at Lochaline, where he and his wife Paula supplied many varying foods for our end of day feasts....one that sticks in my mind is Wild Boar sausages, and for dessert , strawberries dipped in melted chocolate ...awesome food. We also fished at Lymington along with John Becker, and Paul Compton...( Do they know of Daves passing?? ) I remember one trip out of Lymington, when a baby Thresher shark followed Daves bait right out the water and up the side of the boat...exciting that was... So, I suppose it comes to us all, but it was a real shock when I heard about Dave...he seemed to be invincible....just kept going on and on, in his Ford mobile home...I for one, will miss him, but will certainly have fond memories of the time I spent with him.. Att is a wee photo of Dave, Paul Compton and half of John Becker, Lymington 2006...at dinner in the Mayfair...Happy Times indeed..:) RIP Dave...

Hi Guys...Don't know if many of you will remember me, BUT, I've just popped in for a wee visit after years of inactivity on the site... I sold my wee boat "Alien One" a few years ago, which originally belonged to the late great Alan Taylor and Nickinthenorth...all my gear apart from one rod went the same road, all the books went too..but after a cracking trip to Loch Sunart last Nov , is now looking to return to the sea.... Hopefully another boat will be sailing my way in the spring... I decided to get my FAC, and now am the very proud owner of a few rifles,shotguns and airguns...with permission to shoot on approx 70,000 acres of land, with at least 10 miles of coastline near Cambeltown to fish too.... Anyway, the site is looking good, and hopefully, it'll be good to be back.... All the best for the New Year. Norrie
