In Australia, there are a lot of very little man-made interference of Los Angeles, reefs, islands, islets, these rocks are often underwater mountain peaks, cliffs, unfathomable, terrain is very complex. And sandstones around, often accompanied by a wealth of aquatic animals and plants, throughout the year, fish sources are extremely rich, so become a fishing park for sandfishing adventurers.
On Sept. 26, a crazy angler was found fishing in Newcastle without a lifejacket, nearly dying in the waves. Fortunately, he managed to survive, causing only a few cuts and partial bruising.
An eyewitness said the man was catching black fish on the back of the closed Newcastle ocean bath, while his line carelessly hooked the part of the rock connected to the sea.
Instead of simply cutting short fish lines, the man waded the wrong way to the hook and tried to untie the line, flushing his feet in violent waves. The waves came and rushed off his glasses. The water was submerged to his chest, and he managed to escape to a safe area.
In the past four years, 37 fishermen have been killed in sandfishing, and only one of them has been wearing lifejackets.

Sandfishing considerations:
-do not act alone: because of the high risk of sandfishing, at least two or more people are required to go with each other in fishing.
-wearing safety equipment: sandfish need to wear nail shoes, lifejackets and safety helmets, and the zipper and crotch straps of lifejackets must be fastened so as not to be taken lightly by the good weather of the day; those wearing diving frigid clothing in winter must also wear lifejackets; Open-chest waterproof trousers worn when fishing in streams or shoals, do not wear them when fishing in sandstones.
-pay attention to the weather and tide: before leaving, check out the weather, wind direction, wind and dry tide times of the fishing grounds, and do not go to dangerous fishing grounds where accidents occur frequently when the weather is not good.
-if the wind and waves increase during fishing, or if the weather is showing signs of deterioration, you should immediately leave the fishing site and do not cling to the stack.
-when you arrive at an unfamiliar fishing site, you should first choose to observe the waves from a high position, count at least 20 waves, and make sure that the waves will not come up before you can start fishing. When there is no rain, the seaside is always wet, where the waves can come up, and should avoid standing or placing things.
-always be vigilant when fishing. At the seaside, whatever you do, you should face the sea and keep an eye on the waves around you. If you find an abnormal situation, you should shout loudly to raise the attention of other fishing friends.
-if the fishing gear is inadvertently left behind or thrown into the sea by the waves, do not rush to the water to pick it up so as not to be drawn into the sea by the surging waves.
-avoid fishing on the reef before and after the onset of the summer typhoon and during the first three months of the northeast monsoon after autumn.
-in case you fall into the sea while fishing, keep calm so as not to choke in panic and cause shock.
Common features of Los Angeles:
1. The cliff is almost right-angled, and the reverberation of the strong wind will "push" people into the sea; if the station is insufficient, it will inevitably fall off the bottom of the rock as a result of slippage at the foot of the foot. 2. Where the tide can be submerged, the surface of the rock is like a layer of oil, on which the iron is bound to be turned over. 3. The surface of the rock is like a layer of oil on it. 3. The rock surface of the fishing point is inclined gradually, indicating that it is often washed by the waves. As long as the tide reaches the highest point, the surging wind and waves are enough to roll people into the sea. 4. The channel between the outer reef and the inland shelf is low, when the tide is high, the fisherman has no way back to be trapped, and when fishing on the reef, the fisherman should be careful about the above ferocious land.
