    Bullshark

    A big Bullshark just recently caught way up the Noosa river.
    These have been responsible for attacks in coastal canals.
    News this morning, Parks And Wildlife are going to charge the fisherman that caught it. Could be fined thousands.
    They dont worry about bycatch in sharknets.

    I understand that current theories blame Bull Sharks for most shark attacks/fatalities in rivers / canals / esturies (salt through brackish to fresh)

    .... and from now on is the season for such incidents

    .... and it is often easy to think that most rule-keepers & law enforcers like to pick the easy marks

    I thought this thread was going to be about fibbing car salesmen.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Sounds like they are experienced shark fishermen and they were trying to catch shark. They should have known the legal size rules. Was the bream they were using as live bait legal size???

    In QLD live bait is legal as long as the bait is larger than the minimum size limit for that species (if it has one). Fingermark bream have a 35cm size limit, if that was the bait in use it would have to be 35 or bigger...

    I wonder how the new 1.5m shark rule will affect the "finners" up north...

    I believe it to be fact not a “theory” that bull shark are to blame for shark attacks in the river etc.

    They can live in both salt and fresh water making them the perfect river etc... attack weapon.
