hi all - I'm Dave, an 'all-rounder' from the picturesque (?) riverside town of Staines upon Thames (yes - upon Thames, as of last month - I kid you not! 
)
I've got 48 years angling experience under my belt - nothing earth-shattering to report in the big fish stakes, but I've enjoyed each and every minute of the journey. I've fished for most species, and have tried my hand (with a modicum of success) at virtually all disciplines - coarse, game, UK sea, overseas big game. Not a fan of commercials/match/pole fishing, though ...
No 'favourite species' - I like to catch them all! It's more of a seasonal choice for me - tench, barbel early season - everything else thereafter.
Looks like I have plenty of reading material on the forum to catch up with, so I'd best get started!
Tight Lines!
