Being out on a boat all day is usually a great time, but what are you supposed to do when you have had a bit too much sun or the skies open and rain starts to fall? For a crowded boat, Bimini tops are only going to offer so much protection. Bimini tops alternative a boat targa top may be just what the doctor ordered.

If you’ve just purchased a Bowie knife, you’re probably wondering whether you can carry it on your person. After all, these are striking knives – their rugged, timeless appearance would add a considerable amount to any outfit. However, the answer to whether or not you can carry a Bowie knife on you is “it depends.” Every state in the US has different laws governing the carrying of weapons, both concealed and unconcealed on your person. For instance, in the state of California, it is completely legal to carry a Bowie knife (fixed blade only) in a sheath on your person. However, Texas specifically states that Bowie knives are illegal, unless within your personal vehicle, or used during hunting or some other qualifying activity.

Your first step will be to investigate your state’s particular laws. For instance, in Alaska, you can carry any type of knife concealed or unconcealed, except for automatic knives (there are a few provisions, of course). So, if you live in Alaska, carrying that Bowie knife around on your hip is perfectly fine. However, should you decide to visit Washington DC, you should not carry your knife with you. The nation’s capital does not allow any knives to be carried unless they are folding knives with a blade of 3 inches or less. This includes fixed blade knives, folding knives, dirks, daggers, etc, as well as concealed and unconcealed knives.

The state of Delaware on the other hand, allows the carrying of fixed blade knives such as Bowie knives, dirks and daggers, so long as they are in plain sight. If they are concealed, you must have a permit to carry a concealed weapon. However, Delaware does prohibit the use of balisongs or automatic knives whether concealed or unconcealed.

When most people hear the term fishing tackle they immediately think of the professional fishermen on television. What we don’t see it as, is commercial fishing, like the big boats the scrap the ocean floor. But what it really is is a name given to all types of fishing tackle used by professional fishermen and regular fishermen like you.

Majority of you are familiar with hooks, fishing line, and sinkers. All these are concrete examples of fishing tackle. For those who have no idea, let me break it down for you. The hook is the sharp metal object that is attached to the end of the fishing line. It penetrates the mouth of the fish when bitten, making it possible to reel it. To make the hook attractive to the fish to eat you may use specific baits.

The part that connects the hook to the fishing rod is the fishing line. It is imperative that the line is strong because fishes are heavy and they put a lot of tension on your fishing gear once they are hooked.
