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.

The offshore and Inshore action continues to heat up as warmer water conditions and favorable weather has moved into the area. Offshore the boats are averaging 3 - 4 SAILFISH per day with some good shots at nice MARLIN & TUNA. The Cecil Wider group fishing aboard the Vamonos 2 with captain Jamie landed 2 SAILFISH and a 220 lb BLUE MARLIN on the last day of fishing. Captain Chiro on the Vamonos 3 led angler Mr Peinado to 1 SAILFISH and 1 STRIPED MARLIN in one day of fishing. Captain Chiro also found 2 SAILFISH for the Celil Wider group. Cabela's Outdoor Adventure Client Mike Ricketts looking for a big Marlin fished with Captain Chiro for three days landing 6 SAILFISH a 2 YELLOWFIN TUNA. Captain Jose on the LA Bamba fishing with first time visitors Brad Miller and Mike Cummings landed the duo 4 SAILFISH on their first day offshore and then led angler Kim Kaszuba to 3 SAILFISH in one day. Returning winner of Last year's Ixtapa Zihuatanejo total Tag & Release tournament, from Buffalo New York, Larry Kent landed 7 YELLOWFIN TUNA and 1 SAILFISH in one day with Tournament winning captain Adolfo Espinosa. Turning his atrtention to inshore Captain Adolofo led the Fred Aigner group from Chicago , to 13 ROOSTERFISH and 2 YELLOWTAIL JACKS in two days of fishing. The remaining angler in Mr Aigner's group fishing aboard the Secuestro & Moramay landed 3 SAILFISH, 2 ROOSTERFISH, 9 YELLOWTAIL JACKS and 12 YELLOWFIN TUNA.
