Well  done Dean 
Everything and much more than expected with the trials n tribulations of the man with the van and anyone prepared to ponce a lift for the price of a £1 bet in the van sweep. ( bets even taken on motor even getting to venue..lol!)   

Long walks with a few bites if you were lucky and even luckier if you happened to draw on a few fish and earn a brown envelope......afterwards the money would end up spent in pub behind the bar!!!.  :

This book its not about bagging up with the latest tackle and must ave magical baits....no its about travelling the length n breadth of the country fishing different venues and having the banter with the guys pegged around you..most of who you wouldnt know from adam. ..forging life long freindships and fond memories.

HAPPY DAYZZZ! 

Go buy the book cos it really has something for everyone...and a reet giggle 


Best wishes to ALL  and be sure yas ave a gud'un

I used to love Franks articles in the press, probably the best read back in the day. Met him once ( in a pub after a match, great fella) .... must get a copy , any ideas as to where it can be purchased over the counter? 9 I dont like online shopping)

Hi Bullah, try 08454082606 this is calm productions number, not sure if you can order over the phone but worth a try, or you can try 01159631683 which is a number for one of Roger Surgays shops, he brought some copies to sell through his shops.

Just finished reading it Dean. Absolutely priceless mate Reading the snippets again brought back lots of memories. As a lot of the contributors said...no one has even come close to writing a column like your Dad

That's a nice idea Pedro - would have taken you up if i hadnt just finished reading it myself last week.......

Obviously remember Franks weekly column in the Anglers Mail - like most, it used to be the first thing I used to turn to

Loads of amusing situations and things that the 'average' angler could relate too............had a fair few chuckles again to myself as I sped through the pages.

Now just who was it off here that Boris describes in the book as  'a well hungover creature who looked like death warmed up staggering towards me. he got two paces away, chucked down his tackle and began holding onto the hedge whilst he deposited what had made him ill right behind me. I asked him if it was his way of telling me what my peg was like'
