As hosts for the last 21 years my wife Janice and I have accommodated many satisfied guests from North America and some as far away as Singapore. Although Walleye is the most popular target, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass Whitefish, Perch and Brook Trout are all available on the 28 miles of Lady Evelyn Lake or the portage lakes that we feature.

fishing tips and tricks
 Aug 5, 2003; 10:29PM - Bimini Twist
 Category:  Knots to use
 Author Name:  Steve vonBrandt/S&K Guide Service
Bimini Twist 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.

Cabo Fish Report
March 9-15, 2009

WEATHER: This was an interesting week as we did receive some rain on Tuesday. It was not just a little spit that dotted the dust on the cars either; it actually rained! Not hard, but enough to collect in small pools. The rest of the week was partly cloudy with highs in the mid 80’s and lows in the low 60’s. The wind really started to blow on Wednesday making it chilly at night.
WATER: On the Pacific side of the Cape this week the water continued to cool down. Along the beach out to several miles the water was 68 degrees and green. Outside that very cool band it warmed up a bit to around 71 degrees. On the Cortez side the water outside Punta Gorda and around the Gorda Banks out to the Cabrilla Seamount was a relatively warm 74-75 degrees. There was a break in the temperature around 15 miles due south of us as strong currents from the Pacific forced the cool water into the 75-degree water to the south and east of us. The water on the Cortez side, and particularly the water just to the east of us was quite green. This was unfortunate for us as the winds really were blowing the later half of the week making fishing on the cleaner Pacific side uncomfortable.
BAIT: There was a mix of Mackerel and Caballito available this week at the normal price of $3 per bait and there were Sardinas available up around the Chileno area at a cost of $25 a scoop.
FISHING:

BILLFISH: The Striped Marlin bite tapered off a bit this week as we saw the full moon make its appearance. With the fish feeding all night long, the fish that were caught were biting in the late afternoon. For this reason most of the charter fleet boats were not flying many Marlin flags on their return. The few private boats the braved the weather out there and stayed until 5 or 6 PM returned flying outriggers full of blue flags. With less competition in the afternoon and the fish starting to feed, they were able to do quite well. Catching bait on site was a big key as well, once again the Mackerel at the Golden Gate were a bit smaller than the ones boats were able to buy at the harbor, and the fish definitely preferred the smaller baits.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Once again there were not very many fish caught this week. I did find a small pod of white-bellied dolphin five miles from the arch and metered fish under them, but did not have the time or gear to fish them. The few fish that were caught this week were from either very fast moving small groups of dolphin such as the ones I found, or as a result of heavy chumming with Sardinas up around Punta Gorda.
DORADO: A repeat of last weeks situation, there were scattered Dorado caught among the feeders at the Golden Gate Bank as well as some fish scattered up around the Punta Gorda area early in the week. Without any floating debris to hold them we have just not seen very many this week.
WAHOO: I was quite surprised this week as I only saw a couple of Wahoo flags. With the full moon I thought that the bite would have been good, but perhaps the water cooled too much.
INSHORE: Once again Sierra were the fish of the week inshore, with the appearance of some decent Yellowtail adding to the excitement for those fishing close to the beach. Add in the occasional Jack Crevalle, Pargo and Amberjack, and factor in the conditions offshore, I think that the Pangas were the way to go this past week!
NOTES: We are still seeing Humpback Whales, but very few Gray Whales were seen in our area this season. This weeks report was written to the soundtrack of the movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”, one of my favorite movies! Until next week, tight lines!
