I literally never use wire for macks. 100-120lb mono good to go. Reckon I'd lose 1 lure a year to actual mackie snip offs, the rest is always sharks, which the wire does nothing for anyway.
Total political window dressing. They say shark fishing brings them in to shore. Why the f$#k do they think people fish for them - beecause they were already coming to shore!
You got that sort on . If more small sharks were taken out of the system for food then down the track there would be less big sharks to worry about. Less sharks = more fish that aren't taken when hooked

This bloke has lost his way
This bloke has lost his way and become an ultra arrogant condecending C^%$t.
I wonder what they'll ban when the next fatal occurs because it will.
Stop humans from entering the water because they are potential bait
Love the West!

Boats too
Isnt just beaches. Will count if in a boat within 800m of the shore too
Will be interesting to see if this covers rotto as well which would impact mackie trolling

Fuckheads
They better ban dogs swimming at the beach cos they look and smell like seals aka shark bait.
Wonder what they will blame after the next attack. I can't see many people following the rules.

They banned shark fishing
They banned shark fishing there years ago. But we don't have a shark fishing ban, just a ban on using wire.

And here was me always believing it was the bait that got a shark's attention, when all the time it has been the wire !
