Fishing occupies an enormous part in the world's culture. It is a kind of sport, a way of getting food (on a substantial scale, especially in island countries, like Japan) and one of the best opportunities of getting away from it all. To find peace and relaxation, thousands of fishermen start for the open sea with the morning dawn. For others it is business, but all of them use their fishing boats. In the article below you will find information about fishing boats as a part of fishing culture.

Fishing tackle is a very wide word, because its meaning includes a great lot of absolutely different items. For example, it is possible to call a bird an item of fishing tackle because a thousand and a half years ago fishermen in China and Japan used birds with tight metal rings round their necks (in case they try to swallow large and valuable fish) for catching fish. After the bird flew to the shore the fishermen collected their trophies. More examples of unusual fishing tackle you'll find in the article below.
