Probably only a few of you knew Mike.
Mike was a tackle dealer in North London who I bumped into in a pub 25 years ago shortly after I moved here, the conversation moved around to fishing and you can guess the rest...

I was quite gutted to learn the other day that Mike had died a couple of weeks ago from throat cancer.

Mike was more than a tackle dealer, he was a mate and I'll miss him greatly not only in the shop (which is now run by his son Julian) but also in odd kind of places such as the swimming pool and the local Weatherspoons.

Sorry to hear your bad news Steve, condolences to all those affected.

Where in North London is the shop? If its the one I'm thinking off on Seven Sisters Road, then I used it years ago, and found everyone most helpful.

Wasn't sure of the exact location, but I'm sure I used to use the shop regularly when I lived in Haringay.

There was a tackle shop just around the corner from Seven Sisters Road tube station, Richard, but I think it closed in the early 90's or even earlier.
