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.

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
June 30, 2013
Anglers –
The summer season has just begun and on the Eastern Pacific we have already
seen the third named tropical storm, as this week Hurricane Cosme developed
off the coast of Manzanillo, before heading on a westerly path, coming
within 300 miles of Cabo San Lucas and quickly encountered cooler water
causing it to dissipate, never did threaten land. We never did feel more
than a few sprinkles of rain, though the ocean swells quickly rose up to
fifteen feet high on Tuesday and Wednesday, before residing on Thursday and
Friday. Local ports of Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Los Cabos were closed to
all boating activities, red flag conditions, by late Thursday morning the
ports were reopened for operations.
This latest storm system brought in more tropical and humid weather, high
temperatures were staying in the 80s, mild for this time of year, thick
marine haze, almost fog, has been hanging over the Southern Peninsula and
Pacific breezes are keep conditions comfortable. Anglers had encountered
turned over inshore water conditions prior to this recent storm, which
stirred things up even more and it could be a while before the water cleans
and warms back up. In the mean time more consistent action was being found
offshore, in the direction of the warmer currents north of the Gordo Banks
and towards Los Frailes. This is where sportfishing charters have been
finding decent numbers of striped marlin, a few sailfish and dorado also on
these same fishing grounds. Offshore trolling with lures, looking for signs
of activity, seeing some marlin on the surface and taking blind strikes by
a few larger sized dorado that are starting to move into the area, also a
few wahoo in the mix. Dorado to over 40 pounds were accounted for, just
there are no numbers to speak of yet, though if you happened to encounter
any type of floating debris you could be in for a wide open bite. This is
definitely the time of year where anything could happen on any given day.
The epic roosterfish action that had been happening close to shore has come
to a standstill as the water temperatures fell, water turned greenish and
baitfish scattered. There is warmer water near 80 degrees now on the
offshore grounds towards the north. The inshore rock outcroppings from
Cardon to Vinormama have produced some quality sized amberjack, weighing up
to 80 pounds, these fish are striking on surface trolled live baits,
preferably moonfish, mullet or caballito. Shallow water areas of less than
50 ft., these fish migrate close to shore during this early part of summer,
searching for congregated baitfish, also these are the same rock piles that
hold dogtooth snapper and various grouper, good luck keeping them away from
the rocks after hooking up. These are fragile reefs, susceptible to heavy
boat pressure, not an area where the entire fleet can successfully target,
with increased tourism and local population there is added pressure,
additionally there are many more spear fishermen targeting these easily
accessible spots. This is now the peak season for this inshore fishery,
within several weeks this action typically would start to shift onto the
deeper, more spread out rocky structure, such as the Iman and San Luis
Banks, these grounds are much larger and can handle more pressure.
The combined panga fleet launching out of Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent out
approximately 58 charters for the week, with anglers reporting a fish count
of, 1 wahoo, 25 striped marlin, 13 dorado, 16 amberjack, 12 pargo colorado,
10 yellow snapper, 6 dogtooth snapper, 14 cabrilla, 15 jack crevalle, 4
sierra and 12 roosterfish.
Good fishing, Eric
