1.Create a loop in the tag end of the heavier line, then feed the tag end of the lighter line through it.
2. Bring the tag end up and over the loop to make your first turn.
3. Make a series of turns around all three stands, keeping it as tight as possible.
4. make a minimum of 10 turns, bringing the tag end out of the end of the heavier line's loop.
5. To tighten the knot, pull the standing part of the heavier line. At the same time, slide the turns toward the loop end.
6. When turns are in a neat position, pull both standing parts to make the knot tight. Trim ends.

Anglers –
Despite this time of year traditionally be known as the off season tourists
visiting Southern Baja, this summer there have been quite a few people
arriving. We are now in the midst of the most tropical period, which
normally lasts for the next four or five weeks. On Monday there was a storm
front that swept in from the east, lightening, thunder, some scattered
rain, sportfishing fleets canceled early morning charters, by 9 a.m. the
front had passed and some charters did launch later. This is local tropical
weather forming offshore, chance of isolated rain showers and more rain
over the weekend. Though there are new tropical storms that are forming to
the south, with ocean water temperature now 85 degrees or warmer the
environment is ripe for quick storm develop, heat index has been over 100
degrees, very high humidity and forecasts will be monitored closely.
With the warming tropical weather, light winds, ocean temperatures have
risen and the all around offshore fishing action has improved. Clean blue
water is now close to shore, concentrations of bolito, skipjack and
football sized yellowfin tuna are on the fishing grounds, attracting a
variety of gamefish, catches have included, sailfish, blue marlin, striped
marlin, dorado, wahoo, yellowfin tuna and skipjack. Inshore there are still
decent numbers of late season roosterfish hanging around the Puerto Los
Cabos Marina Jetty area.
Not much bottom action now available, swift currents make it more difficult
for drift fishing over the structure. The commercial panga fleet coming
from the Los Frailes direction have been setting anchors on the San Luis
Bank and hauling in big numbers of huachinango, the true red snapper,
valuable commercial catch, averaging 6 to 12 pounds. Some of the charter
boats are now getting into this action, drift fishing with pieces of fresh
giant squid. The squid are being caught off Los Frailes in quantity, can be
purchased from this panga fleet, $10 buys you a lot of squid, this is
something that has just developed this week, it has been working though.
Still no supplies of sardinas, these baitfish would work great for chumming
the yellowfin tuna into a surface feeding frenzy, it is time the local bait
supplying pangeros should starting to scout out this bait source. In the
mean time they are still finding plentiful caballito, mullet and moonfish.
Surf conditions are moderate now, takes one group to start chasing the
sardinas, then the rest will follow.
Dorado have been the most numerous gamefish being found, ranging in all
sizes, up to 45 lb., offshore and inshore, throughout the blue water,
striking a wide variety of lures and baits, blind strikes and found on set
buoys or other debris. Many dorado are be released, the limit on these fish
is two per license, best to release the juveniles and only bag the larger
specimens. More wahoo were accounted for off the high spots north of Punta
Gorda, most of these fish hit on trolled lures and ranged in the 25 to 50
lb. class. Wahoo are normally not that active when the water temperatures
get so warm, but these fish are elusive and will feed when they feel like
it.
Striped marlin have been hanging around, despite the warm currents, while
most of the stripers would now be found in cooler Pacific waters, there are
significant numbers of these fish still in the area, at times found in
grounds of five or six, tailing on the surface, often proving to be finicky
and not interested, other times readily striking lures and trolled baits.
Everyday we are hearing stories of blue marlin strikes and an occasional
black marlin encounter, we expect to see more of this action, as this is
now the time, with the conditions ideal and the food prevalent, big fish
will be lurking.
Yellowfin tuna action has been found from Iman to San Luis Bank, trolling
hoochie type lures or drift fishing with strips of fresh squid, the action
has been sporadic, feeding on their particular schedule, some charter would
have 5 to 10 tuna in the box, though most anglers were fortunate to catch
one or two. Sizes have averaged 8 to 15 pounds.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 78 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 2 blue marlin, 38 striped marlin, 8 sailfish,
124 yellowfin tuna, 215 dorado, 12 wahoo, 30 roosterfish, 14 jack crevalle,
45 huachinango (red snapper) and 11 cabrilla.
Good fishing, Eric
