New Guy from across the pond

[Newt]

First time ever on this site. Thanks to Ziptrev for the invite.

I see a few familiar names.

For those I don't know - a little bio.
- From the eastern USA - North Carolina to be exact
- Old git - turn 58 tomorrow as a matter of fact
- Fish for most species that will bite and have been doing so for around 54 years (Dad believed in starting me off young )
- Fish mostly from my boat for all species - including carp and catfish
- Offer a standing invitation to any UK angler who happens to wind up near me for a day's fishing. If you should turn out to be an idiot (hasn't happened yet) I can always throw you overboard so all are welcome.
- No pike down here (too warm) and the perch are all small. Carp aren't in the same class as the St. Lawrence/Great Lakes area either since they are now taking the occasional 60+ common from up there but do have a lake with a good population and where no one knows how many/what size we have.
- Have strong opinions on most topics (and the less I know about them, the easier to have a strong opinion)

Welcome aboard Newt,
Yes there are a few familiar faces here,the only problem is that someone suffered from brainfade and made Trogg a Moderator,

The scary thing is to contemplate some minature Troggs running around. I sincerely hope the offspring all favor his wife.

Hi Newt welcome and happy birthday. Rest assured the offspring do favour his wife. His bark is worse than his bite esox

chill out go fishing

I know a secret about ole Trogg that I will share if you all promise not to tell a living soul.

He is probably the only angler in the UK who has a float that is shaped like the cartoon character Snoopy. I understand he only uses it during night sessions though so no one will notice.
