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.

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR MARCH 10-16, 2003
WEATHER: Once again we had a week with mixed skies, partly cloudy most of the time but
clearing up toward the end of the week. No rain, of course, but we did have a few mornings with
very humid conditions and lots of condensation. Our lows in the early morning have been a bit
warmer than the last few weeks with the coolest I recorded at 64 degrees. Our daytime highs
have been in the mid to high 80’s. (Skies The Limit)
WATER: Very nice surface conditions this week on the Sea of Cortez side of the Cape and on
the Pacific side things were smooth as well, at least until this weekend when the swells picked up.
The Pacific side has seen cool water all week long with the warmest areas being right off the
lighthouse and showing us temperatures in the 71-73 range at the start of the week and at the end
of the week the warmest was 69 degrees. It appears that the current down the Pacific coast has
forced cooler water into the area and at the end of the week we had a strong temperature break
running from the Cape to the southeast with the west side being around 68 degrees and the east
side showing 72 degrees. This extended out to a distance of about 30 miles or so. (Stand On The
Rock)
BAIT: A pretty even mix of Caballito and Mackerel right now with the number of Mackerel
increasing as we approached the full moon. These baits are still the normal $2 per bait and there
have been some smaller ones available as well, but at the same price. I did not hear from anyone
on the availability of Sardinas this week. (Do You Know)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The Marlin bite dropped off this week as we approached the full moon and they
moved further away from our area as well. Boats finding Striped Marlin were having to travel as
far as 40 miles out to get to them but it was worth it if you wanted only Marlin and were willing
to run for three hours to get there. The few boats that made that run at the end of the week were
still getting shots at multiple fish per day and often catching two or three, but for most of the
boats, that was just too far to go. There were Striped Marlin scattered around the area closer to
home and the majority of fish caught this week were found within 20 miles of port. Not every
boat found fish, and not every fish found bit, but there was a fair chance for someone to hook-up.
Also, a 600 pound Blue was caught this week, and it was found in cool water on the Pacific side!
There were a couple of Swordfish caught this week as well, both of them in the 150 pound class.
(Love Is Dangerous)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The fish of the week for most boats, they were found along the
temperature break and started out 30 miles out at the beginning of the week and worked their
way closer as the week wore on. They started out mixed in with porpoise and most of them were
footballs, but there were a few school fish mixed in as well. At the end of the week there were
fewer porpoise in the area and most of the fish in the temperature break were caught in the blind.
A few boats working the banks were able to hook into larger fish, up to around 120 pounds using
chunk and live baits. Perhaps 50% of the returning boats were flying at least one Tuna flag this
week. (Save Me)
DORADO: Not the fish of the week, the bite was off and the fish were scattered. A few boat
hooked into as many as four Dorado, but most boats were lucky to get one. Most of them were
found close to shore, often by Pangas fishing just outside the surf line for Sierra. (Behind The
Mask)
WAHOO: I talked to a few anglers who reported hooking up to Wahoo this week, but none of
them were able to get the fish to the boat. Perhaps the upcoming full moon will be more
productive for these great fish! (Freedom)
INSHORE: This was a nice week for boats working from the surf line to a mile offshore as
there was quite a mix available. The biggest surprise was the appearance of large squid from
Grey Rock to the Pacific lighthouse, just out in around 150 feet of water. They were easy to spot
and were coming to the surface at around 9:30 in the morning. Most of them were in the 2-3 foot
range, not the monster 5’, #80 squid we sometimes get, but it was still a blast to catch them on
light tackle. On the Pacific side, the Sierra continue to slowly work their way north and at the end
of the week were being found in the Migrainos area. many of these fish were large ones, in the 8
pound range, and when they were found the bit aggressively. Off the Arches, there were a few
days at the beginning of the week when Amberjack, Pargo, Yellowtail and small Hammerhead
Sharks supplied lots of action. That dropped off a little later on and the squid moved in. There
were quite a few small Roosterfish being caught this week and a few larger ones mixed in as well
and almost all the action on all the fish except Sierra was on small live Caballito and Mackerel. I
have seen schools of small Mullet beginning to show up and those mean a better chance at
Roosterfish for anglers wanting to target them. Oh yeah, don’t forget that there was fair action
for Dorado inshore as well! (Hard Feelings)
NOTES: Fishing this week was fair for most boats. There were quite a few that got skunked
and a few that had great trips, but all in all it was not a bad week. The Tuna seem to be moving
closer are a few large fish showing up, the Striped Marlin bite is dropping off but the Blues are
beginning to show up, inshore action is hot. A few Whales are still in the area and the current line
is holding bait, seals, turtles and fair fishing. Good water conditions and sunny skies make for a
great day on the water and it sure beats shoveling snow! This weeks report was written to the
music of Fleetwood Mac on their 1990 Warner Bros. release “Behind The Mask”. Thanks for
sending me some new music! (My dad is such a great guy!) Until next week, Tight Lines!
