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.

Last week I had a few runs out on Butler Chain with some very good results. With a couple runs into Lake Down and Lake Butler, I found the bass to be more active n the deeper waters, spinner baits and steel shads were the ticket to catching bass in 10 to 16 foot of water. Mid and last part of the week, we saw ourselves catching bass back along the grass beds, working wacky rigged Gitem K.O.s right up along the grass edges and scattered points. Sid had an early morning hook up with a toad of a bass, hitting a High Roller ChugRoller in Firetiger color, she came up and danced a few time before she managed to shake loose. This gal was an easy 6 pounder, and had everyone pumped for some good top water action, which just never kicked in.
Working Lakes Sheen, Pocket and Tibet, the Gitem K.O.s were the ticket for sure. Sid did try to, as he said “ force a top water bite” getting several blow ups on the ChugRoller with none hitting good enough, although he did have a serious blow up on it in Lake Pocket, only to pull it away from her. Sid did manage one small buck on the Steel Shad. Best part of the day, was seeing Sids dad, at a young 88 years old catching bass on a wacky rig. This father son team was a great pleasure to have on the water, always great to see father and son out on the water and having a great time. Side note for Sid, I tossed around an Original High Roller in the same area, hooked a nice toad but she managed to get to the dock and break off!! Past several weeks has been a lot of artificial bait trips with 4 to 6 hour trips averaging between 10 and 25 bass per trip. Bass are still active, just very little schooling action has been seen lately.
Till my next report, tight lines and great fishing!
