"On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Captain Rafael Mayans down here in South Florida with Sea Cross Sports Fishing Inc. Today we are going to explain to you off shore fishing techniques. Knot tying; very important. One of my favorite knots which is basically a knot you can use on everything. It is a very easy knot. Just pass it through the hook, loop the line on your hand like that, pinch these two lines together and wrap the main line inside the loop. I wrap it maybe five, six times, seven, no less; stretch it all out. I always like to wet my line because I always like using monofilament but we'll get to that now; slide the knot right on down, grab the main here. "
