The Old(ish) Man And The Sea

Dave Cowie is a household name among South African anglers, not only for his tie to the ocean (attached by the fishing line), but more for his overwhelming humorous take on life.

Dave, a natural born story teller, discovered his super power of entertaining others early in life. He always kept a few stories holstered for when the crowds would gather eagerly awaiting their fill of laughs.

It only seemed natural for Dave to progress to the written word in order to captivate a larger audience and so he began writing the ‘Chum Bag.’

This is a compilation of true angling stories (with pictures) that all took place on the South African East Coast shores, written by Dave Cowie.

One story written by Maurice Henderson, entitled ‘The tale of two fairies and the Iron Lady’ was included to explain a hilarious photo hanging in the Meerensee Boat Club in Richards Bay of Dave, his wife and a friend.
