tiger shark on port beach not released

Friend went for her morning swim at port beach this morning and came across this 2 m tiger shark.  Obviously caught last night and left on the beach.  I trust it wouldn't be anyone from this forum but it makes me angry to see this just left to die on the beach.

Gets me bloody angry

When you see things like this being done it really gets up my nose, apart from all else it gives the anti fishing brigade a free shot at decent fishos.

It's really a quite an easy thing to get these magnificent fish back into the water and watch them swim off, also it's a damn good feeling to think another fisho may share the experience of catching it.

To sum it up

Bastard/s.

 Won't be long before Colin 'I will allow MMA fighting but I won't allow fighting in cages even though its 10x safer than fighting in a ring' Barnett makes a personal taste call and bans shark fishing altogether

Channel seven news tonight

Sat, 2016-03-26 23:00

Just as I feared, the tv news got onto it and they had a couple of people on saying how the practice of fishing for sharks from or near the swimming beaches will put everyone life at risk by bringing in lots of sharks.

Fishing for sharks should be banned, using balloons for shark fishing should be banned blah blah blah.

There are times when Fishos are there own worst enemy

Sheeesh give me strength, and give a few brains to the bloody fools who did this stupid act.

not good form

Sun, 2016-03-27 08:04

leaving it on the beach like that, but you would be wrong if you think all released sharks live.
Spent a week camping on a beach up north once shark fishing at night, not stuffing around and taking ages to bring them in either, short hard fight on an alvey and 24kg line with a quick release without gaffing or anything.
Next mornings I was snorkelling the same area fished and found nearly all the sharks I had released dead on the bottom within 50 m of the shore. Certainly opened my eyes as I had always thought sharks to be very hardy.
Stopped catching them after 2 days of seeing the carnage.

That's very interesting, and sad Jmac. Hope that isn't the case with a majority of shark fishing.

Just got back from Steep

Sun, 2016-03-27 09:37

Just got back from Steep point, disgusted to see someone brought a sailfish up the cliffs, cut its beak off and left it on the rocks. Extremely bad form.

 Spot on .... the minority eventually wreck it for the majority.

These dickheads should be left on the beach with a stick in their mouths so people can walk past and give em a good kick !!
