"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 offshore fishing techniques. Offshore live baiting; you are going to run into fish that have teeth so you are going to want to put some wire on your line. Personally I don't like using swivels, I like using albright knots especially on light tackle because the albright knot is an awesome knot. It can withhold a lot of pressure so I really like this knot a lot. You kind of bend the wire over, you slide the monofilament into the wire, grab the tag in and start twisting it around the wire where I bent the wire at. You are going to grab it and give it a good 8, 10 twists. You are going to wrap right back up and you are going to pass that tag in right through the loop. "
