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.

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 fall/winter season continues to pick up steam as the SAILFISH bite led the offshore action. Inshore the beigning of the week was red hot with small game and the Roosterfish arrived toward the end of the week. Captain Chiro on his new 35' Bertram the ' Bloody Hook ' ran his first charters for the season with Anglers Michael Mcdowell and Jean Farley who landed 5 SAILFISH and 1 DORADO in two days of fishing. Included in the 5 SAILFISH was Mrs. Farley's 135 lb SAILFISH which is our largest of the season so far. Captain CHiro who had previously worked aboard the Vamonos 3, work diligently this summer to refurbish the 35' Bertram and has recently added a complete line of 30 and 50 Two speed Shimano outfits. Anglers who are interested in fishing with Captain Chiro aboard the 'Bloody Hook' are encouraged to contact our office for available dates. Mrs. Farley and Mr. Mcdowell also fish at night with Captain Luis on the Grand Jefe, landing a cooler full of small game includiung Red Snapper, Big Eye and Grouper. Texas Angler Terri Covington, fishing aboard the La Bamba landed 2 SAILFISH on her first day offshore. First Time Colorado Angler Larry Loveland, posted the single best offshore day landing 5 SAILFISH aboard the Gran Jefe. Montana Angler Dan Helterline fishing a combination of 4 Days aboard the Dos Hermanos 2 and Gran Jefe, landed 5 SAILFISH on Conventional tackle , 2 SAILFISH on the fly ( raising 5 others ) as well as 2 ROOSTERFISH and 2 BONITOS. Also fishing with Captain Luis was returning angler Harrell Minzenmayer who landed 1 SAILFISH and lost 6 others while using only lures. European anglers Mr Kuhn & Geiregat fishing 5 days aboard the Leydy landed 10 SAILFISH, 2 DORADO, 30 SPANISH MACKEREL, 14 YELLOWTAIL JACKS and 20 BONITOS. Also from Europe Mr Fumenier fishing 3 days with Captain Temo on the Secuestro landed 2 SAILFISH, 8 YELLOWTAIL JACKS, 35 SPANISH MACKEREL and 2 CHULAS. California Angler John Benbow, fishing aboard the Llamarada with Captain CHico, landed 2 SAILFISH in one day offshore. Returning Fly angler from Chicago, Mr Fred Aigner fihsing aboard the Janeth with Captian Arturo raised 8 SAILS in two days. Washing state angler Chris Morrision fishing 14 days aboard the Dos Hermanos 1 & 2 landed 5 SAILFISH, 2 DORADO, 23 YELLOWTAIL JACKS, 52 SPANISH Mackerel and 3 CHULAS. The blue water is within 8 miles and the inshore action continues to improve with the Roosterfish grounds near Puerto Vincentee Guerrero being the best bet.
