Portable canopy cover for fishing boats
First Claim
1. A portable canopy for use with a boat having a covered helm and at least two fishing rod holders mounted thereto, said portable canopy comprising:
- a first tubular shaped support member having a proximal end and a distal end defining a length therebetween, said proximal end constructed and arranged to be releasably secured to a first fishing rod holder, said first support member including a first angular bend to position a substantial portion of said first support member in a similar horizontal plane to the covered helm;
a first locking pin securable to said proximal end of said first support member, said first locking pin securing said first support member to said first fishing rod holder;
a second tubular shaped support member having a proximal end and a distal end defining a length therebetween, said proximal end constructed and arranged to be releasably secured to a second fishing rod holder spaced apart from said first fishing rod holder, said second support member including a second angular bend to position a substantial portion of said second support member in a similar horizontal plane to the covered helm;
a second locking pin securable to said proximal end of said second support member, said second locking pin securing said second support member to said second fishing rod holder;
a spreader bar hingedly attached to said distal end of said first support member and releaseably secured to the distal end of said second support member;
a fabric cover extending between said first angular bend and said first distal end of said first support member, and said second angular bend and said second distal end of said second support member.

Abstract
A portable canopy for use with a boat having a covered helm and at least two fishing rod holders mounted thereto. The portable canopy employs a first tubular shaped support member having a proximal end securable to a rod holder found on a fishing boat. A second tubular shaped support member having a proximal end is secured to a second rod holder, adjacent to, but spaced apart from, the first support member. The first and second support members are secured to the rod holders by use of locking pins. A spreader bar is attached to the distal end of each said support member, forming a rigid frame between the support members and the rod holders. A fabric cover extends between the support members, providing shade to the occupants beneath the canopy.
