The double uni knot, from braid to fluorocarbon, is a great way to attach a braided main line to a fluorocarbon leader. This knot is thought to be one of the strongest fishing knots, and is commonly used by Steve Rodger when targeting Yellow Tail snappers in the Florida Keys. It is very simple and quick to tie, but is most importantly, very strong when tied properly.
In the video below, you can see Steve tie this knot quickly, and efficiently out on the water.
Step 1:
Overlap the ends of the fluorocarbon and braided line by around 6 inches.
Step 2:
Make a loop with the fluorocarbon line, around both lines, making 5 turns around the two lines.
Step 3:
Feed the tag end through the loop and pull it snug around the standing line.
Step 4:
Repeat steps 1-3 in the same order with the braided line, but make this time make 8 turns.
Sept 5:
Moisten the lightly tightened knots and then pull the opposing standing lines in opposite directions, sliding the two knots together.
Step 6:
Trim the tag ends as close to the knots as possible.

Once the fish is done you can just pull the meat off the bones and start building your tacos. Add some lime juice and bring the pulled meat back to the grill while you wait on the corn to finish. Once this is all done, you can add your street corn sauce, and build your tacos with your preferred toppings.

When you buy your Simrad unit, it's going to come pre-loaded with the entire navigation of the United States - east and west coast including Great Lakes - but it's kind of basic. If you want to enhance that map you can use C-Map and C-Map reveal. I highly recommend you get this chip once your Simrad is installed.

Back in the day when we started using the radars to navigate inlets and find fish. We had to get to the boat early to turn the radar on and then wait. Yeah, and then once it warmed up, then you had to actually pick a target in the marina and set the gain on it set to sea state for the day and then going off that one marker you knew that you were dialed in for the day and you do every day.

Our edge on the water is the fact we find the birds first. The radar gets us in the right area, binoculars put us in the right spot. Everyone on board will have a set of the Nikon 7 by 50 Global Compass binoculars with a built-in Compass.
