The Improved Clinch knot is one of the most widely used fishing knots. It is a great way to secure a fishing line to a hook, lure, or swivel. The "improved" version shown here includes an extra tuck under the final turn. The standard Clinch knot is tied by passing the line through the hook then turning it 5-7 times before putting the tag end back through the hole created between the hook and the first twist.
This method works well on most lines, but on certain monofilaments and fluorocarbons, the knot will not stay tied. The knot was improved when someone figured out that passing the line back through the larger loop a second time, lessens the chnaces of the knot slipping.
In the video below, Saltwater Experience’s, Tom Rowland, shows us the proper way to tie this extremely useful knot.

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.

Capt Scott Walker and Capt Steve Rodger explore the fertile waters around Hawk's Cay
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.
