Title: Hi from the UK
Post by: TJS23 on October 02, 2017, 06:22:21 PM
Hi all, new here. I live in Cornwall in the south west of the UK. I have fished all my life for Atlantic salmon, brown trout and sea trout (sea run browns) in our rivers, and a wide variety of saltwater species from European bass to blue and porbeagle sharks and in recent years bluefin.
I found this site as I just bought a Penn international 30tw which was in serious need of TLC.
Great site - I've learnt loads already!

Welcome. I visited your area on my honeymoon with my first wife in the early 80's. Loved Mousehole as well as all of the other small towns.  Used Exeter as a base for my travels as I had rented a car. First time driving in England on the other side of the road. It was fun. In the Pub in Exeter, I couldn't pay for my own drinks once they found out I was a "Yank" (even though I am from the south) on my honeymoon as I was a guest of the Pub. Played lots of Skittles and had great conversations  with the wonderful folks over there.

That is amazing Tim, about 12 miles apart!

When I first moved to Cornwall from Jersey I was even closer, at St. Stephen's Coombe.

Perhaps we could meet up sometime for a chat.

Mike.

It's a small world in AT, whether 12 mi. or 6,000.
