Tip&Trick Description 1:
Bimini Twist
Used primarily for offshore trolling and double-line leaders. A Bimini twist creates a long loop of line which is stronger than the the line itself. A Bimini twist is a simple method of doubling your fishing line in order to prevent chafing or to create the necessary loop in order to attach a wind-on leader. A short Bimini twist (up to five feet) can easily be accomplished by one person. To tie a Bimini twist longer than five feet takes two people, although it could be done alone with a lot of practice. This knot is a 100% knot, meaning, it retains 100% or the original strength of the line being used.
1. Measure a little more than twice the length you will want for the double-line. Bring end back to standing line and hold together. Rotate end of loop 18 - 23 times, by twisting it.
2. Slowly spread the loop to slide twists together about 10' below tag end. You want to spread the lines evenly, keeping the same angle on each side, so they do not wrap on top on one another. Step both feet through loop and bring it up around knees so pressure can be placed on column of twists by spreading knees your apart. It is easiest to learn the knot with two people so one person can hold and spread the lines while the other person ties the knot. Bimini twists over 5 feet long really need two people to tie properly, unless you have 8' legs!
3. With twists now snug together, hold standing line in one hand with tension just slightly off the vertical position. With other hand, move tag end to position at right angle to twists. Keeping tension on loop with knees, gradually ease tension of tag end so it will roll over the column of twists, beginning just below the upper twist. (as the line continues to spread apart the tag end will wrap back down over top of the twists.)
4. Spread legs apart slowly to maintain pressure on loop. Steer tag end into a tight spiral coil as it continues to roll over the twisted line. It take a practice, but avoid the twists jumping back over top. The twists should lay side by side and coil down nicely as shown to the right.
5. When spiral of tag end has rolled over column of twists, continue keeping knee pressure on loop and pinch the end of knot to keep it from unraveling. Put a finger in crotch of line where loop joins knot to prevent slippage of last turn. Now make a simple half-hitch with tag end around nearest leg of loop and pull up tight.
6. With half-hitch holding knot, release knee pressure but keep loop stretched. Using remaining tag end, take half-hitch around both legs of loop, but do not pll tight.
7. Make 2-3 more turns with the tag end around both legs of the loop, winding inside the bend of line formed by the loose half-hitch and toward the knot. Pull tag end slowly, forcing the loops to form in a spiral.
8. Moisten spirals and pull loops tight against main knot. Leave about 1/4' of a tag end when trimming. Keep practicing, it takes some time.

“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 28 MARCH, 2003
Sam Attisha and his friend were our anglers for today but there was supposed to be three of
them. Their fiend lives just outside Denver, Colorado and was snowed in and unable to get to the
airport for the trip! Sure am glad we live where it doesn’t snow! Sam knew this morning that the
fishing has been a little bit slow so he said they would be happy just to tie into something. Juan
and Manuel headed out to their favorite area, south of the Jaime Banks. While working the area
they had a blind strike on a Yellowfin Tuna of about 40 pounds. It was a nice fight and by the
time the fish was in the boat several other boats had come on the scene and hooked up also. The
lines were put back out and about a minute later they hooked up to a Dorado that weighed about
the same as the Tina, just around 40 pounds. Two very nice fish in the boat in a short time. Later
on they spotted a Marlin come into the lures and dropped back a live bait, but the fish refused to
eat. The water was nice, not too choppy at all and they came back to the marina happy to have
caught something good to eat and to have had a nice day on the water.
While the “Fly Hooker” was out, I was out with my friend Pat on his 21 foot Alumaweld and
we headed the opposite direction, up the Sea of Cortez. We saw Pelicans diving just in front of
the Hacienda del Mar resort and pulled in and dropped back two small Rapallas. Two passes on
the Pelicans and two Sierra! All right, fish in the boat! Our objective today was to get into the
Yellowfin Tuna that had been in the vicinity of Gorda Banks. Pat had some new gear that he
wanted to check out and only a big fish would be able to put it through it’s paces. When we got
to the vicinity of Gorda Banks we put out the lures and right away we started to see Porpoise,
only they were the wrong kind, these were the large black Porpoise. We kept heading out to the
east and as we passed over the outer Gorda, we had a Marlin come in on the lures and slap the
Marauder on my rod. The fish came back and slammed the lure several more times before leaving
the area. About 5 miles out from there we saw another Marlin tailing on the surface and pulled
the lures past him. This fish lit up and came into the spread when he saw the lures but did not hit
any of them. In the distance we could see two boats and they appeared to be stopped. Thinking
that they might be ion the Tuna, we headed their direction. Looking back, perhaps we should
have pulled the lines in and cruised out there but instead we trolled. As we neared, we could see
three boats in the area and they were leapfrogging each other, chasing the fish and Porpoise. We
know they were good size fish because each time the boats hooked up, it was quite a while before
they started up again. We finally got into position in the Porpoise and the long line goes off with
w whirl of the clicker and we have a fish on! At first we thought it was the Tuna we were looking
for but then it jumped and we knew we were hooked up to a big Bull Dorado. It took Pat about
35 minutes to get the fish to the boat and by that time there were a dozen boats working the
Porpoise. We put the lures back out and had one more strike, this one on the Marauder, and it
was a Tuna by the look of the tooth marks, but the fish did not hook up. Time was going by fast
and we had to turn for home so we went back over the Gorda on the way in. Something struck
the Marauder again as we passed over the pouter bank and we made a circle over the spot. Pat
spotted the Marlin following the short jig and I had him pulse the engine, making the lure speed
up and slow down. The fish lit up and took the lure! Pat had the Marlin on for about 15 minutes
before it threw the hook but he had a blast. It was his first Marlin and the fish must have jumped
24 times! On the way back we passed another pod of Porpoise but could not get a strike from
them and we saw a Marlin free jumping outside the Westin resort. We arrived back at the Marina
three hours later than I had told Mary but we sure had a good time!
