For me, august slowed down quite a bit and I have spent more time off the beaten track exploring fresh territory that is difficult to get to for the average guy. This means a lot of walking. I have found a couple pockets that look to be pretty sweet that are on my must fish list this fall.
As for equipment I replaced my a few reels and added to my plug assortment.
I do plan to fish eels a bit more this year.
I am in the process of tying leaders for the fall. Some for plugs and some for eels some pre tied with droppas. I find this to save me a lot of time when the season gets hot. I use a nifty leader wallet when I fish and everything stays organized. As for line, I change it a few times during the summer but once the fall comes it is a weekely event. (shop does it for me..just bring in the spools) Line is cheap...I want it new all the time.
I spent some time fixing the boat/motors as well. I hope to chase more fish on those perfect nights with the boat but I have to say the bulk of my fishing is from the surf. What I need is more time.
I am actually thinking of taking a month or two off witn no pay just to fish this season....Its the wife I have to convince...
