Tip&Trick Description 1:
Albright Knot
The albright knot is most commonly used for joining lines of different diameter, for creating shook leaders and when Bimini Twist is tied in the end of lighter casting line. It is also used to connect monofilament to wire.
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.

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT DECEMBER 6-12, 2004
WEATHER: Once again we had great weather, and of course that is one of the reasons we live here. We had night time lows to 58 degrees and our day time highs reached the high 70’s and may have pushed into the mid 80’s at the end of the week. There were partly to mostly cloudy skies early in the week but it cleared up nicely toward the end.
WATER: The water continued to cool this past week as the Pacific temperatures dropped to an average of 74 degrees and the Cortez side of the Cape averaged at 78 degrees. There was a temperature break, but not a strongly defined one, that ran from the tip of the Cape toward the southwest with the warmer water on the eastern side. Surface conditions were great for the most part, but there were a few mornings when the water was a bit choppy due to the night time winds.
BAIT: Almost all Mackerel this week with a few Sardinas as well. Big baits were $2 each while the Sardinas were $20-25 a scoop.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: This weeks report on Marlin is almost a repeat of last weeks with the exception that I actually heard of a nice Blue of over #600 being caught. The fish died after 4 hours on #50 tackle, but it is a sign that there is still a chance for one of the beasts! For the most part though, it was a Striped Marlin kind of week. As was the case last week, the fish were bunched up with feeders popping up here and there as they followed the bait around. The key once again was to spot the feeding Frigate birds and tossing bait at the spot they were diving on, or slow trolling live bait in the area. The fish were moving around though, and the location of the bait changed from day to day. One day the concentration would be 20 miles out, the next day just 3 miles off shore. I would say that almost every boat that tried had a shot at least a few times a trip to get hooked up to a Marlin, and some of the boats caught and released from 4 to 6 a day.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: It was an off week for Yellowfin as few fish were found and those that were found were small. There were reports from long range boats out of California of great action on big fish farther north from us, so there is hope. As the water cools the fish should get closer and we might be able to get into some of those big toads, the ones over #150!
DORADO: Cooler water means fewer Dorado and the bite continues to taper off. There are still fish out there but most boats are lucky to get one a day, and the size is around 15-20 pounds. Most of them have been found close to shore, less than a mile out and slow trolled live bait or fast trolled feathers have worked well.
WAHOO: As a repeat of last week’s Wahoo report: There were very few Wahoo caught this week here in Cabo, and those that were brought in were all in the 35-40 pound class. There were maybe one or two flags a day for the entire fleet.
INSHORE: With fair water conditions on the Pacific side and the inshore bite not really have taken off yet, most of the Pangas have been working either farther off shore for Marlin or close in for Dorado. There have been reports of some Sierra showing up, a bit more action on them than there was last week, but the Yellowtail are not here yet. Bottom fishing was slow with only a few decent Grouper and Snapper reported.
NOTES: The weather is great, the Marlin bite is going great guns and the water is in good condition. It sure makes me feel good about being here! Now if only those big Tuna would show up things would be perfect! This weeks report was written to the country swing music of the “Red Willow Band” of South Dakota fame on their compilation album “Way Back When”, 1999 on Lost Records. That Chris Gage is just awesome! Well, until next week, ya’ll keep them lines tight!
