Welcome aboard Captain Dave's Knot Tying Page!
Follow the fishing and boating knot links to the right for clear pictures, directions and some animations on how to tie several popular fishing and boating knots.
NOTE: The end of the line that you work with in tying knots is called the "Tag End" or "Bitter End." The main length of line is the "Standing Part." On average, any knot will reduce the breaking strength of any line or rope by about 15%. Along with the boating knots I have listed the typical percentage of line breaking strength remaining after tying the given knot.
Stay as long as you wish to learn how to tie these knots.
The links to the left provide current marine and local Massachusetts weather reports, extended local Massachusetts weather reports, tide charts (Boston, Massachusetts) and the US Coast Guard Navigation Center, featuring GPS information, DGPS sites (which are a must for anyone with a differential GPS), LORAN-C information, Local Notice to Mariners plus a boat load of miscellaneous navigational links, my Site Map and Link List. Although most of the links to the left provide local Massachusetts information, my out of state visitors can also find nationwide marine and weather information.
The remaining links to the right have my Boating, Fishing, Saltwater Fish Species, Fish Filleting and Tackle Tips pages. Following those are my Search Engine pages, one with short descriptions and another in a table form, plus my Research Page. Last but not least, is my Doll House Gallery featuring the Farmhouse and The Garfield! These keep me busy in the winter.
This page is best viewed at a resolution of 800 x 600.
As you visit my pages you will notice I love animation. Feel free to copy any of the animations.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you are having trouble locating marine, boating, saltwater fishing, tackle information or have any questions!
