How to Tie a Loop Knot
How to tie a loop knot for fishing - in this video Captain Will of Wild Mullet Fishing Charters our of Sarasota Florida shows you how to easily tie a loop knot.
When jigging or fishing with a cast and retrieve type system, sometimes you need to use a loop knot to give your lure a more natural action.
Some people use a snap swivel type system for this, but a loop knot is stronger, and also less visible to the fish than a metal swivel traveling through the water.

Tips For Planning Your Early May Sarasota Fishing Charter
A little preparation goes a long way toward making your Sarasota fishing charter the highlight of your trip.
Book early morning when possible
As we head into summer, days get hot, and most species feed more actively in the cooler low‑light hours, especially in shallow water.
An early start also gives kids the best chance to fish before they get tired or the midday sun kicks in.
Share your goals with the captain
Let Captain Will know if your priority is action for the kids, a shot at a trophy (like snook or tarpon), or bringing home dinner so he can tailor the day.
He will also factor in current regulations and seasonal closures to keep your trip fun and legal.
Be ready for changing conditions
In early May, we’re still in that transition window where wind direction, tides, and bait movements can shift the bite quickly.
The advantage of fishing with an experienced Sarasota fishing charter is that Captain Will can adjust on the fly—sliding from inshore to nearshore, or from one target species to another—to keep rods bent.
Now is a fantastic time to explore Sarasota’s inshore and offshore fishing with a local captain who treats every charter like a personalized lesson on the water.
If you’re thinking about booking a fishing charter in Sarasota this May, early dates usually offer great weather, hungry fish, and plenty of room on the calendar.
