Deffs one about spearing, might be netting as well but i'm not sure.
I'm pretty sure you can't net or spear within 50m of a creek mouth

Just started saltwater fishing this year after only having fished in fresh water. I notice the hooks and split rings on my lures started to go rusty in the tackle box. What's the best way to prevent that?

rinse them in fresh water after use and let them air dry before putting them away

Putting a small silica pack in the box with them helps, as well as taking measures to avoid getting salt spray in the box. I also like to store used lures separately to unused ones to avoid getting salty water in the tray that has all my lures in it and keeping it refined to a smaller tray that only has lures I have used and or a few lures I plan to use that trip. Finally as Ian said rinse them after each trip and allow to air dry.

Stupid question time.

Today I went out fishing in ppb conditions weren't great I purchased some jig head 1/8 but was feeling like it was way to light and wasn't getting down to the bottom,so my question is can you put a running sinker on your line to weight it down more?
