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.

It was a week of wild swings in the fishing as the blue water was being moved over wide ranges by strong afternoon northwest winds. There were some great days followed by some totally off days during the week. Angler, Hotoshi Doi , fishing aboard the Super Panga, 'Marfel', landed 2 SAILFISH and 1 DORADO in tow days of fishing. Angler, Weldon Doe, fishing aboard the Super Panga, 'Moramay', landed 1 SAILFISH and 1 TUNA in two days of fishing. Top single day offshore was turned in by Holland angler, Mr. Schouten, landing 8 Sailfish while fishing with Capt. Adolopho on the Dos Hermanos I. French angler, Nicoloas Guy landed 3 SAILFISH and 1 monster ROOSTERFISH while fishing aboard the Dos Hermanos II with Capt. Jose Diaz. Mark Peterson and friends from North Oaks, MN, total numbers for four days of fishing included 14 SAILFISH, 3 DORADO, 2 MARLIN, 4 TUNA, and several BONITOS.
The MARLIN weighed in at 280lbs. and 200lbs. According to Mark 'the worst part
of the trip is that he lost 2 MARLIN within five minutes of one another on the
last afternoon.' Returning angler from Holland, Guido Gylen, fishing aboard the Dos Hermanos I landed 8 ROOSTERFISH to 60lbs. along with 8 JACKS in on day of fishing. Retuning Milwaukee angler, Ray Brill and wife Bobbi, landed 5 SAILFISH in three offshore days and 3 ROOSTERFISH and 6 JACKS in one inshore day. The largest ROOSTERFISH was landed by Bobbi and scaled close to the 80lb. mark. Angler, Mr. Cornell, fishing aboard the Vamonos II landed 4 SAILFISH and 1 DORADO in two days of fishing. The cameras of CABELAS OUTDOOR ADVENTURE seen on OLN captured some of the action as Human Resources Director, Larry Hire, and Pro Staff Guide, Mark Maus landed both SAILFISH and ROOSTERFISH up to 65lbs. At the beginning of the week the blue water was within 3 miles but moved out to over 25 miles only to return back again to the 3 mile mark by week's end. Huge schools of porpoises are found along all the beaches chasing SARDINES but the TUNA have moved offshore.
Ixtapa/Zihuatanjeo Climate: Hazy, hot, and humid with strong afternoon winds.
Sea Conditions: calm mornings followed by increasing waves in the afternoons.
Bait Supply: Fair
