With gale winds in today’s forecast surf fishing in not high on most angler’s lists. So what can we do? Well if your anything like me and love to procrastinate about tuning up your tackle for the fall run this can be a bonus day for you. Checking, sharpening, and changing out rusted hooks should be number one on your things to do list. Fresh line is always a good thing to have when things heat up, especially for those of you who fish mono. Servicing your reel’s drag will also pay dividends in landing that fish of a lifetime. Last but not least guides and tips on your rods must be checked closely, a crack or cut in either will surely cause a break in your line in the most inopportune times causing you to loose that irreplaceable favorite lure or even worse, that elusive fish of a lifetime!… John Yac
