Planning a party? Why not go all out for the fishing fan in your life?

Whether you're throwing a party for dad this Father's Day, or any other fishing fanatic in your life, you can really pull together a great themed party with a few ideas!

Tiffany Hurd from Tri-Rentals Event Specialist is dishing out  tips to reel in the perfect party.

"Rod & Reel"
A fantastic Father's Day theme. Select a fishing movie or turn on the sportsman's channel. Set up a wading pool for the kids & toss in some magnetic fish & fishing poles for a pseudo fishing experience. Add camping chairs, lanterns & blue enamelware for dining to create the perfect riverside fishing experience.

"Gone Fishing"
Retirement Party for the angler. Research some fishing stories, the one that got a way & favorite fishing holes of the retiree. "Pool" your funds and send him away for a weekend to his ultimate fishing site.

"Hook, Line & Sinker"
Bachelor Party. Anyone for ice fishing? This is a fun get-a-way, bonding between buddies before the groom ties the knot. If the groom can't take the trip, then Tri Rentals will show you how to achieve that ice look.

"Anchors Away"
Fishing, cruising- these events can be turned into fun nautical- style parties by adding bars, ottomans, outdoor furniture around a pool. Umbrellas, tents in assorted colors add charm and flavor.

"The One that Got Away"
Turning 50? The years flew by and got away. Decorate & entertain with the decades of fishing gear, photos & videotaped stories from fishing buddies.

"Landing the Big One"
This theme covers a multitude of possibilities: graduating from college, getting his first job or finding his first great client. Be festive & upscale with sublime blue linens & silver tableware, sparking with fishing lure accents.
