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.

Howdy,
March Fishing Report
You can now get daily fishing reports at my new website
www.CostaRicaFishingReport.com
The fishing in March was incredible. The month started with a solid Sailfish bite 15-20 miles out in front of Jaco. All the boats were catching 7-10 Sailfish and lots of delicious Dorado.
From March 13-15th was the Los Suenos Signature Billfish Tournament. Congrats to the guys on the “Muy Caliente” for taking first place with 4 Marlin and 23 Sailfish in the 3 day event…pretty good for a 31 foot boat in a tournament with lots of big boats. The “Spanish Fly” was 2nd place and the big “Missbehavin” finished third.
The Sailfish bite exploded following the full moon with everyone catching double digit Sailfish just 20 – 30 miles out. The Dorado bite dropped off a bit but when your catching 12 -28 Sailfish a day who cares.
The month ended with a big Marlin bite. It seemed like everyone I talked to raised Marlin and several boats had multiple hook ups and multiple Marlin releases just 20- 30 miles out. Boats were averaging 3 to 5 Sailfish, a Mahi Mahi or two and a Blue, Black or Striped Marlin sighting.
Captain Bill on the “Sailfish” caught 10 Sailfish and a 450 pound Blue Marlin on St Patty’s Day. Captain Bill later went 12 for 20 on Sails one day and 22 for 33 the next. He finished the month with 4 Sails and a 500 pound Black down by the pocket.
Captain Dana on the “Hoo’s your Daddy” went 19 for 26 on Sailfish and had a couple nice Mahi Mahi. Towards the end of the month he caught a Striped Marlin, 4 Sailfish and a 50 pound Bull Dorado with a lucky couple from Florida.
Captain Dave on the “Missbehavin” took a family from Pensacola fishing and they went 5 for 9 on Sailfish. Everyone on the boat caught their first Sailfish…congrats.
Captain Jeremy on the “R&J” released 15 Sailfish with the Mike Horn party. Mike had a great time and sends his thanks to Jeremy and the crew. Toward the end of the month Captain Jeremy on the “R&J” caught a Blue Marlin, a Striped Marlin, 2 Dorado and 2 Sailfish.
RJ fished with the guys on the “Iron Trader” and released 3 Marlin, a few Sails and a couple Dorado.
Captain Roberto recently went to secret spot and caught 2 huge Broom tail Groupers…using butterfly jigs.
Captain Tim on the “Tres Amigos” caught a couple Marlin, five Sailfish and a few Dorado.
April Fish Forecast --
Hopefully the big Sailfish numbers will continue through April. Sailfish is our most important fish and we need another great month.
The Marlin fishing will get most of the attention just because the guys caught so many Sailfish last month that they are ready for something new. The Striped Marlin bite will continue to be above average.
There will also be lots of big Dorado and Tuna caught by boats going offshore for Sailfish and Marlin.
April Fish of the Month – Sailfish
The Sailfish and Marlin bite made thousands of tourists happy in March. Those happy people will go home and tell everyone how great the fishing is in Costa Rica. Healthy Sailfish and Marlin populations are important to the future of Costa Rica. If we do not protect this resource Costa Rica will lose millions of dollars a year.
PLEASE DON’T EAT WHITE MARLIN AND SAILFISH
What’s in your ceviche?
Good Luck and Good Fishing,
Bubba
