Currumbin fishing death

Read about this on another site and went searching for more info.
Although a tragic situation for the family, I guess it's a timely reminder
to take care no matter what your fishing poison may be

This really shows just how careful you need to be when fishing off the rocks. No matter how experienced of a fisherman you are and no matter how many people that you have fishing with you, you can never turn your blind eye to the sea.

I have never had a big career in fishing the rocks, due to always living close to the beaches...but, one could only assume that being a rock fisherman....you would have certain safety equipment that you would have on you at all times. Namely a life jacket!!!!
This truly is a timely reminder that even though you may well be a great swimmer, a life jacket can and will save your life.
