Near the end of the lunar month means spring tide is coming, thus the tide will be higher and the current is stronger too. In this area around spring tide, the current will uproot and washed lots of seaweeds. It is very common that get lots of seaweed while retrieving the lines. 

During these time and this area if you feel and see your light rod's line got stuck, chances are the hook has gathered a large cluster of seaweeds and the rod and reel is not able to handle the load. What you can do is dry your hands before grabbing the line and slowly pull the line back.

If you ever wonder how your bait got eaten, but the rod  does not have any sudden movement, chances are the starfishes are helping themselves to the bait. When I retrieve the bait, the hook in the starfish’s mouth. 

Eels and sand whiting are stingrays’ favourite food, anglers often use them as bait. Eels are only eaten by crabs or rays, thus it is quite safe to just cast the bait out and wait for a few hours before retrieving the bait to check is it still there.
