- For coastal fishing, get a tide chart and learn how to use it.
- Always try and get fresh bait. Catching it yourself can be fun too.
- Use the lightest sinker you need for the job. Sometimes this will only be a very small one.
- Become good at tying important knots. Get a good knot book, learn to tie the Locked Half Blood Knot and practice it.
- Read as much as you can in magazines like Fishing World, Rod & Line, Modern Fishing, Sirip, Pancing. There are heaps of really useful things as well as heaps of good pictures.
- Never touch or handle a fish or creature that you can't identify. It might bite or sting.
- Get a good fish identification book and study it.
- Always wash salt off your fishing gear, including hooks and lures, after you've finished fishing at the coast.
- Try and have a freshwater tackle box and a saltwater tackle box. This will protect your freshwater stuff from rust at the coast.
- When you are not using your reels, keep them in a dark place, like a draw or cloth bag. Sunlight damages fishing line very quickly.
