Claim:
1. A collapsible portable cover comprising: a. two pole sets each comprised of a plurality of pole members connected together using an elastic band, said pole sets having a grommet tip at their bottommost and topmost distal ends; b. a cover assembly having a cover unit, two sleeves, a bottom trim, a top trim, and two side distal ends, said sleeves having a bottom closer to a boat's stern and a top closer to a boat's bow, said sleeves running longitudinally along said side distal ends, said sleeves having an interior space to each receive each of said pole sets; c. said cover assembly including two back cover extensions on opposite sides of said cover unit and extending from a location of said bottom trim that is adjacent to said sleeves, said cover assembly further including two front cover extensions on opposite sides of said cover unit and extending from said top trim adjacent at a location adjacent to said sleeves; d. a plurality of spaced apart fishing rod holders mounted on a boat's t-top, said pole sets being passed through a predetermined distance out of two preselected rod holders and each inserted into one of said sleeves; e. a loop assembly including two loop straps each having a first and second end, said first ends include a loop member that is mounted to a boat's cleat and said second ends include a loop member slot that is cooperatively mounted to said bottommost grommet tip, said two back cover extensions each having a distal end that includes an extension slot, said back cover extensions being longer than the amount of said pole sets that extend outside the bottom of said sleeves, said back cover extensions each mounted over each of said loop member slots, thereby securing said loop members to said grommet tips; f. said pole sets passed through said rod holders thereby creating an arch in said cover unit using the tension from said loop members mounted to said cleats, said pole sets passed through until only a small portion of each is left not having been passed by their respective rod holders, said front cover extensions mounted onto said topmost grommet tips preventing said pole sets from sliding out of said rod holders.
