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.

REPORT #1046 “Below the Border” Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
Endless Season Update 01/20/07
East Cape
Ever fished for marlin wearing a raincoat? Now is your chance! In spite of the cold and rainy conditions this week, there was a decent striped marlin bite and even a few dorado. With only a few brave enough to don long pants and raincoats, it’s not clear just how good a bite it is.
Locals could only bring themselves to chase the sierra that seemed to be strung out from the lighthouse to Punta Pescadero.
Once again this week the Humboldt squid could be found in front of Palmas de Cortez Hotel within a few miles of shore.

Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico
The unusually cold temperatures that have plagued Southern California have also affected the Baja Peninsula, including Magdalena Bay.
With the number of whales increasing every day, whale watching season is dominating the interest.
Captain Peter Groesbeck, fishing out front on the Stealing Time, reported good fishing when the weather permitted. He found consistent marlin action under the bird schools with mostly multiples strung all along the 100 fathom curve from Santa Maria to the Entrada. Still plenty of dorado were around as well. Back at the Entrada there were firecracker yellows under the birds.

Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico
There has been very little change in the fishing this last couple of weeks, which is a disappointment. In times past, the dark of the moon period in January has been the absolute best week of the year for sailfish. This week, instead of the boats returning to the dock with 8 to 10 released sailfish flags flying, they are only averaging 2 or 3 sails a day.
However, this has happened in years past with an El Niño, or fluctuations in the current. The main body of fish just has not yet arrived. As has happened under these conditions, February may be an excellent month.
No tuna are being reported, but several boats have been scoring on a nice dorado or two. Plus, a few blue marlin are starting to show up in the trolling spreads. The marlin often get hooked, but usually win the battle against the smaller sailfish outfits.
Inshore still has great action, on the fly rod or light tackle, with the black skipjack tuna. Adolpho, on the panga, Dos Hermanos, found a few roosters again, after making a 30 mile run up North to Union. But, when I fished 35 miles south, we did not raise any.
