Hammerhead Shark "attack" at Grayton

[Rambler]

love the pic of my boots smilin joe!! Now as far as sharks are concerned..........

They have always been there and they will always be there. Tourists need to know that its best not to wear shiny things in the water (they look like fish) second, if you see a shark DONT freak out and splash around. Leave them alone and they will leave you alone. these rules are very simple. Now on the net ban, stupidest thing ever. A lot of my friends who have fished their whole lives lost their livelihood over that. Ever think that most fisherman follow the rules and dont want to overfish? This supports their families and feeds them!! Some of my best memories involve a bay skiff, my father, a large net, and 20 local kids chasing the mullet so the whole neighborhood could eat. WHY ARE NETS SO WRETCHED again??? if you go on about pictures of dead sea turtles ( you do realize these pics are actually taken off shores other than our own) I may have to get angry. BRING THE NETS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It wasn't the small guy that was the problem. Unfortunately the old days when the majority of people followed rules and cared for their environment are over.

to tell you the truth I think those days are just beginning. A lot of the younger generation (mine) are now becoming adults and have been well educated.

To punish the masses for the unjustices of a few is a crime.

I am glad to see the group of kids, whom were on the float during the shark incident, are still playing in the water (along with their dads). They are staying closer to shore, but are having a great time getting wet. :clap_1:
