Emufingers, mate your beginning to sound like the old person on the jetty are you sure that it isnt you?People again are making there own facts and doing there best to destroy shark fishing. Well mate one question for you, do you have a PHD in marine biology and studied sharks for a length of time? If you have I may then begin to listen to your opinion. Otherwise I will not, and as for the surf life saving club, my backyard swimming pool is deeper then the beach there, again it is the surf life saving clubes like that of the one at henly that cause all of the grief for shark fisherman!And buddy I was one of the people there with the yak and shark fishing. So you better get the story correct in regaurds to berley . Call me stupid mate, but arent we allowed to throw in the berkley premade gar and tommie berley from the packet to get tommies and gar around?Yeah thats what i thougt now because you see its a small fish, you have no arguement, say as much as you like mate, but I was there I know what happened and the media twist everything, I think on a fishing forum it would be best to keep and opinion such as yours away. Consider joining a swimming forum mate?And we as fisherman are entiteled to fish for gar when we wait for sharks as there is not much else to do! Now for the kayak issue, if we have the "balls" to paddle a bait 300m off leave us alone coz, u's do not swim and it would certainly be way to far out of the patrol zone. Unlike swimmers we know that every time that we enter the water we realise that we are enetering the sharks environment! We take that risk and dont try to blame others if there is a sighting. Come on mate, you know that some of the accussations have absolutely no fact in them at all. Im considering people that we should live inside all our life we may walk outside and step on an ant!This is not a personal attack, but i feel strong about this topic as well, and we are being unfairly ridiculled. Media : "ROGUE FISHERMAN" wrong a gain, grumpy local bastard goes to throw 1600 dollar combo over the edge and boys are expected to leave it (should have been the title)? Give me a break, and there was no knife pointed at them at all. If your planning to swim this weekend Im just saying we have another trip planned this week, so if I were anyone that was swimming i would be on the watch out for a savage school of tommies and garfish. WATCH OUT WE ARE BRINGING THE TOMMIES CLOSER (WHAT A JOKE!!!!)As for the other you got a problem with my comment or the way I act down there, Ill be there saturday night and possibly friday night, come down and meet us and see we are good blokes, I will show you what we do and how we get them, then you will know 100% that we are doing nothing illegal! I would be more then happy to do this mate, for it is us as a sharking community that need to educate people to the methods that we use and show how we do nothing illegal!!Cheers SamN

By placing a fish (usually snook or bonito) on the end of your line in any water depth is not attracting sharks in from the deep, they are already in the area.... Something the media needs to work out as well.

Don't get Optus, they are useless :c

G'Day Fokes, Would have to say my most memorable fishing moment would have to be pulling in my 9.6ft Bronzie off Henley Jetty with all my best mates there to help. Headed down at 4:00am Thursday morning, school started at 10:00am, hooked onto the big girl at 8:00am and didn't get her onto the beach until 10:00am, got to school late with the best excuse in the world...Too bad i can't use that excuse all the time!
