cadius is on a distinguished road
Default Re: Tribute to one of the greats!

Hi Chav cadius here i do like the post about Nigel.I am of that age who can actually remember fishing against the Ipswich teams in the leauge that he started.Although i didn/t know the man as well as some people i did know Ian Gillespe quite well before his unfortunate death.My memories of the shop are ones of being very helpful,because of the shift patterns that i had to work and my love of fishing i wasn't always able to get my own bait and many a time i would phone the shop and they would leave it in the chippy for me to collect later on in the evening.Great blokes all of em.That's not to say the recent additions to the staff are none the less helpful.As time goes by and we all get older the great characters that we have known and fished with, all depart this life that is the only sure thing in this life, but some like Nigel and Ian and many of my old Friends leave a lasting memory as i hope i possibly will when its time for me to take the final trip to the beach.
Keep the faith, tight lines cadius.
