I feel confident in saying that a ban on day time metropolitan shark fishing in unnecessary as well.Anyone who understands the marine environment off adelaide already knows that the sharks are there anyway.They're there for the sand crabs, snapper, tommies, garfish etc and an angler fishing say a salmon trout or mackeral out for sharks is not going to make any difference.Urban runoff, sewage, the torrens outlet etc all those sources of offal are much much more likely to attract a shark than a bloke fishing a salmon trout under a balloon.We all know that but unfortuantely some unneducated residents think they know better and are doing the right thing to protect their children by successfully lobbying for shark fishing to be banned.The Government sees it as an easy quick political fix when in reality the danger level to beach goers remains the same as it always has or possibly worse since white sharks become a protected species.Many people have lost touch with the natural environment and falsely believe that quick fixes like this will suddenly make the beaches safer.

Must confess your comment raised a little giggle from this dyed in the wool reddy addict but it would be very difficult to compare shark fishing with redfin fishing at any level and as far as I know (and please don't quote me?) there has never been a single human redfin attack fatality anywhere in the World :clap:As an aside, it is a scientific fact that redfin actually sleep at night so a ban would be totally un-neccesary between the hours of 9pm and 5am :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
