statesquider 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Haven't heard about that but would be interesting to hear as to why the authorities were called. I know it doesn't look good to those that don't fish but if it was going to be eaten the why not take it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kelvin 2,200 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 As long as the guys were not using burley around swimmers and the shark was used for food, then I have no problem with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

__matt__ 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Surely the 'fuss' was more because of the fact that the shark was there/caught (i.e insinuation that it was attracted into the area) than because it was killed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

afishyfish 4 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 This sorta thing happens every season on all fishing forums guys! When it comes to sharks you just cant win. If you fish for them you are seen to be attracting them to our beaches. If you release them you are seen to be letting killers go to endanger swimmers, and if you kill them you are heartless for hurting one of gods wonderful creatures! Me, I just think they are tasty!!!That's is what ranger said in the shoutbox a while ago.Wew may as well go cull Koalas, that need culling :dry: Couldnt agree more, you just cant please everyone all the time :S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
urhookedfish 12 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Was going to post this on Adelaide now but it went 201 characters over the limit.Its amazing that you can have shows dedicated to the capture of big beasts like marlin out off of the USA and no-one even gives the deaths of these magnificent creatures a second thought as they are hoisted onto big boats to ultimately feed people. But as soon as people can see the death of a creature with their own eyes they suddenly feel the need to stop or criticise this. I understand that it is human nature to feel sad when an animal dies but we all need to sit back and think about the capture of this shark by a dedicated fisherman who at this stage I am led to believe is going to eat this fish. This is most likely a once in a lifetime capture and he should be allowed to take the shark for consumption if he wishes. I personally would of let it go, but ultimately it is his choice and we all should respect that. If you cant understand this logic then watch a show called Catch, Kill and eat it and you will see that when confronted by death you suddenly have to understand the processes that carnivores need to take to feed themselves. Of course always utilising best practice, and to be fair when you want to eat a shark caught of a local site with onlookers, it is sometimes hard to know what best practice is going to satisfy most and of course it seems that no matter what method he used he was never going to satisfy everyone as we all have our own opinions.Urhookedfish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Me, I just think they are tasty!!![/b']That's is what ranger said in the shoutbox a while ago. Yep, thems is my words alright!Don't get too cut up about the fuss guys! Every year when the weather warms, sharks create this huge frenzy of opinions and emotion!If you fish for sharks they condemn you for enticing them in.If you release them, you are condemned for endangering swimmers by letting them go.If you kill them you are condemned for the needless destruction of a beautiful creature.What they dont seem to understand is that Bronzies are always around, but they are a fairly docile shark which dont normally pose a danger to humans. In fact, most of us would have swum in close vicinity to them many times without ever knowing it.As far as I'm concerned, there's no ban on taking Bronzies, so as long as you are following the law, sharks are fair game and beaut tablefare!Well done to the guy who landed it, and I hope you enjoy it! In fact, I hope you've got a bl**dy big freezer! :laugh: I'll be out there in a few weeks myself, but I just target the littlies! I'm hoping to bag one from the kayak this season, and if I do you guys will be the first to hear about it...........and bugger the vegans! ;)Then again, I also murder and eat most of gods little creatures, so the cute little baa lambs, the furry little bunnies, the big eyed moo cows, and a whole host of others are all destined for slaughter! Even the ugly crocodiles, snakes, goats, pigs, camels, emus, kangaroos, eels, ducks and many many others are all fair game. If they move, It's likely I'm gonna have a taste.................WHY???BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL SO TASTY!!! And because that omnipresent god being up there made me carnivorous, so it just aint my fault! :whistle: statesquider and chuckemback 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
