    Be very, very careful about what you are going to do. Firstly, you'll need to go to the department of Marine to obtain a licence. Lots of legal issues involved there. Secondly, be very, very careful what you catch. Bass (the big silver fish with the spiky gill covers) are ILLEGAL to fish for. I repeat, you CANNOT FISH FOR BASS. There is also a minimum landing limit on other species and of course you will be subjected to quotas. Commercial fishermen are also quite protective of their fishing grounds and more often than not, can take offence to newcomers fishing on 'their patch'.
