rock fishing
Coastal boulder casting
Rock fishing is angling from rocky outcrops along the shoreline, typically targeting ocean fish from exposed coastal formations.
The practice is particularly popular in Australia and carries significant danger—waves can sweep anglers from slippery rocks into turbulent water.
Three rock fishermen drowned along the coast last year.
