time y to allow fishing for whites. we've over fished their usual prey and now they will eat whatever they can get. without us reducing their numbers, there's just going to be more and more attacks.

Stupid logic. Maybe consider changing your behaviour and diet (and greed) rather than just killing apex predators. What you're proposing has no chance of restoring balance.

I'm sorry to hear about a waterman taken away from his friends and family by tragic circumstances.

How is it stupid logic?
Since they have been protected there is more of them and more attacks.

BUT Bit rough for the thread to go this way within a few posts, RIP mate and thoughts to your family.
