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.

San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
June 28, 2015
This week we had persistent warmer weather conditions, no storms brewing on
the map at this time, warm and humid conditions prevail and with warmer
ocean currents pushing 80 degree plus water in our direction, anything
could develop on the horizon any day. Ocean swells are minimal now, after
the big blow last Saturday winds were now light, which turned water
conditions over for a couple of days, water temperatures cooled by ten
degrees overnight, also clarity became greenish closer to shore. Though now
water has cleaned back up and conditions appear favorable.
The action became more scattered after the gusty winds, as water was
cooler, the colder water species, such as Eastern Pacific Bonito and
huachinango, the true Pacific red snapper went on a good bite on the San
Luis Bank, striking mainly on yo-yo style jigs. By mid-week this action
tapered off as warmer clean water returned. Though there was a decent mix
of bottom species accounted for, pargo, amberjack, cabrilla and a few
dogtooth snapper. Some fish to 30 lb. were landed.
Roosterfish action had really picked up the previous week, then as colder
water pushed in this shut down the action, but by the later part of the
week the monster sized roosterfish started to bite again, with the stretch
near Punta Gorda producing roosters up to 70 lb. Please do remember to
release these prized fighting gamefish with care.
Live bait sources remained the same inside the marina entrance area, with
both caballito and moonfish plentiful. Bolito have been found schooling on
the offshore grounds and make a very good extra bait option.
Dorado remain scarce, considering this is the time of year we should be
seeing larger size do-do’s moving into local waters. Only an occasional
wahoo being talked about, one 35 lb. ‘hoo was landed during last weekend’s
Father’s Day Tournament out of La Playita.
There were a few larger sized yellowfin tuna found traveling with porpoise
further offshore, anywhere from 24 to 40 miles out, not really a practical
deal yet for panga charters. One yellowfin tuna of 183 lb. won the heavy
fish honors during last weekend’s tournament, landed from a 40 ft.
sportfisher far offshore, hard for the smaller pangas to compete against
boats of size when the cleaner warm water had shifted some 40 miles
offshore and seas were a bit choppy, this event was originally a panga
event, but has opened up to any size boats, not really fair for the smaller
boats to compete against these larger vessels, maybe different classes
should be formed.
Billfish action tapered off during the first part of the week, though by
late week striped marlin returned in force to within close range and many
charters were accounting for multiple fish days, a few stripers were
weighed up to 160 lb., larger grade fish moving in.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 70 charters for the shortened week, with
anglers reporting a fish count of: 23 striped marlin, 16 dorado, 1 wahoo, 2
grouper, 8 amberjack, 19 cabrilla, 9 dogtooth snapper, 5 pargo colorado, 18
yellow snapper, 14 jack crevalle, 155 bonito,115 huachinango (red snapper)
and 25 roosterfish.
Good fishing, Eric
