EverywhereDo now Wear a lifejacket to rock fish. Never swim after drinking.
Rock fishing is one of the most dangerous hobbies in Australia, and a disproportionate number of people die doing it.
- Before you fish from rocks, watch the waves and swell, check for slippery rock, tell someone where you are going, and wear a lifejacket. A lifejacket is compulsory in declared areas of NSW.
- Never swim after drinking alcohol or taking drugs.
- Slip on a shirt, slop on SPF 50+ sunscreen, slap on a hat, seek shade, slide on sunglasses.
