Also, something to keep in mind is to clean up after yourself when at the beach, out fishing or just relaxing on the sand.
There have been heaps of rubbish cleaned up from our local beaches after the recent heavy rains and flooding.
A lot of the rubbish cleaned from these beaches included fishing hooks and lines in some areas, so please do enjoy your fishing, but make sure that you respect the ocean too.
