It's all coming together now.....

Happy Fall everyone! Time for the big girls to start eating........ I am psyched, I ordered a Abu Record 60 last night (after the post office lost my other reel) and a part for my motor (after the original part flew somewhere into the neighborhood never to be seen again) which I hope will get it going..... it's all coming together now! Now all I have to do is convince them to eat. Good luck to all!

Jacob,

Sounds like you're as fired up about the Fall Fishing as I am!! I cannot wait to throw some of these MONSTER flies that I ordered to see if I can interest a Musky or two. I still definitely plan to keep a few of the smaller flies in rotation too as most of the baitfish pods that I see are pretty small.

Good luck to you as well!!

Good luck to you as well, Jacob. The "fat months" are just around the corner.

I have always loved the fall, now cold nights make me want to crawl in the boat...... plus it helps on the mosquito population...... I am planning on hitting French Creek up near Cambridge Springs this fall pleanty of water and it all looks fishy!

Funny timing on this post! I was just thinking this morning how fired up I'm getting! I'm not real crazy about the leaves floating though! Pain in the Butt at times!

Yeah, I have to remember to take a pic of cussewago when the leaves are at thier height. You cannot even see the water! it's amazing, rivers seem to get plugged up but this is crazy! No current to speak of + overhanging trees = 2 weeks +/- of no fishing........ guess I will have to go outside of me comfort zone and fish the still waters.

We get enough leaves and maybe we can try dragging a big rubber frog across them like lillypads! Hahaha.

I bought a record 61 a few weeks ago. Keep an eye on your brake adjustment knob. Mine loosened on it's own and came off the second time I used it never to be seen again.

Sure did feel like fall this past Sunday Morning on the River. It was extremely cold. I would of liked to of had a hat and gloves. I guess my body just needs to get used to it. I really enjoy the the Fall / Winter fishing.

I will keep an eye on my adjustment knob how do you like it otherwise? I did not get the HC model I did not want 250 yds of line..... just seemed like overkill.

I was scrambling looking for my gloves and my hat saturday night and could not find them but I braved it anywho on sunday. The weather was beautiful but the fish were not up for cooperating. I have my cold weather clothes out and ready now. I am hoping to get my reel by the end of the week (it's coming from kentucky) and get it broken in. I am hoping that the fall treats me better than the rest of the year....

Jacob,
I did not get the HC either for the same reason. I do like the record 61. That being said, I've bough 3 Abu's this year. First was a Revo Premier low profile, the second was the record and for my third, I went back to another Revo. I liked the fit and feel of the record, but I love the low profile Revo. They cast so effortlessly. I put the record on my extra heavy rod and use it for pulling the big stuff like double cowgirls that would burn up the high ratio on the Revo. It does that very well. I'm sure you'll be happy with it.
