Hi Jacksprat,
Have you thought about spearfishing, its much more fun and better for you and you will get into bigger fish. If you stick with fishing you will be fine untill you turn 18. At this stage you will be required to add a dozen cans of your favourite brew to your fishing kit, and unless you chug them all while out fishing you will be laughed at by your fellow fisherman.
On the other hand, its almost impossible to dive with a hangover and this in effect promotes far healthier habits.
Sorry to burden you with all this but you need to learn this at a young age as once set in your ways it will be harder to convert you.
Cheers
PS With a little hardwork and training you to could be like this guy.
Oops ... had ya till then didn't I.

Take your trench coat and get away from the young lad.
Jacksprat,
Lookout for Paul. He is trying to convert you to the darkside. Best you just ignore him.
Hey little JackSprat,
Don't listen to these guys okay? Bushpig is actually Michael Jackson in disguise and Paul is a Catholic Priest.
Welcome to the forums. When you have any questions just post them and we'll help you out.
My first tip for you is always wear a safety vest. I've been hearing about too many young guys falling off the warf lately. If you're surf casting and wading out. It's a definate must. Same thing on the rocks too.
Remember it's hard to breathe with your head under water. Denim Jeans and Gumboots are a no-no as they will weigh you down and you cant get them off in the water to swim. Kakhi Shorts and tennis shoes are the best and wear lots of 30+ sunscreen matey! Get yourself a good full brim fishing hat too.
Cheers

HF, Are you talking "Bata Bullets" & Army Surplus shorts?
If so I'm in luck, always said that stuff would come back into fashion
Go to it Jacksprat---there's too many fish in the sea!
Howdy Jacksprat , awsome to see some rising young talent in here , you now have the xmas hollidays to spend fishing your heart out , good fishing.
Warning , dont take to much notice off these fellas that do the diving , they suffer from oxygen deprevation also a syndrome called shoot ya self in the foot and then try to seriously to put the foot in the mouth, spear and all.
Ho ho ho. cant wait to take my grandsons fishing over the hollidays.
Remember mate to respect the sea and the creatures that live in it and around it , also what ever your doing around the ocean always watch your back, the sea is a very hard task master and takes no prisoners.
Cheers , and i bet you do catch the biggest fish in the sea one day.
wow i dident think i would get so many replies
thx every one
Bushpig,
10 to 1 That I look like John Candy???
You stalking me? or have you noticed me stalking you?
I'm going to grow some eyes in the back of my head for a while. This Bushpig guy has me worried. Not sure who's the Hunter and who's the Hunted.
May this be a lesson for you and your Parents little JackSprat.
People like Michael Jackson might be lurking in the background of the forum.
