Even though I'm only 25, I'd give the advice of LEARN HOW TO SWIM. Even though it is not technically fishing, God forbid a wave pulls you out or you fall off the rocks, etc. (even if you aren't doing anything stupid) you DO NOT want to end up in the water not having that knowledge. You are constantly around water and you should respect the power of water. Know how to save yourself because you may be like me and fish alone. But even with a friend, they cannot swim for you.
Directly related to fishing: PLAN WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO LAND YOUR CATCH AND PLAN FOR THE FISH TO BE 50 POUNDS. I see too many people when leaving the beach and bay not scouting for a landing rock on the jetty or rock piles and making a dangerous climb down or rock hopping with no Korkers or a belt around their waders. Some have some very nasty scars to prove my case. No fish is worth your life. Ever.
