It's why I've always loved his books, he writes them how he chats

I prefer Laneys books but Terry's verbal story telling. Both great anglers and come across as top blokes

Just watched part 4, outstanding again!

No need for a Terry vs Dave comparison, they are both fantastic story tellers

Well said

The first few minutes of part 4 says it all for me about how carp fishing was back then. Non of this over hyped bollox thats around at the moment. It's fishing ffs.

One of the true modern day greats, carp catcher

I think we all paid Dave Lane's wages for the majority of his carping ‘career'. Seems fairly content at being a sponge in his early books, a reason I've never really taken to him despite his obvious ability.

In the early days he became an artexer via Maggie Thatcher's Enterprise Allowance Scheme in the 80's, he talks about it in one of the vids, worked as little as possible, enough to fund his fishing

Read a Flick of the Tail as this covers when he started working for JRC who I believe was the 1st fishing company he worked for
Are you sure?
