These articles all talk about the safety of Rock Fishing or stand off the rock platform, most of them outline the number of injuries and deaths have happen in Australia when people or fisher went to the rock platform. These articles fit into the topic that I am doing, and the safety is the most important things. I will highly recommend these articles to anyone who are interested on doing rock fishing or already doing rock fishing.
