JB I only want the ones that are hanging around,I feel much saver surfing where we have nets and drum lines
Bugger, I've run out of popcorn.
I'll just run out for some more.
Hope I don't miss anything...
I think a cull would have to be very specific ie big dangerous sharks that hang around a populated area.
I think that's reasonable.
what amount of time is deemed hanging around im not sure.
however if you go surfing at seal colony. no dice, no cull
ps actually make that any aggressive shark hanging around.
and while we are at snakes too - im talking about the little know but dangerous north qld mohawked cobra

Mac they simply don't hang around, the one spotted yesterday is grey and has fins, the one today has fins and is also grey coloured, its more than likely just a new one. If any "Lurking" is happening its because their is an over abundance of food in one spot. You'd be better to call for more commercial fishing to remove that first, because if you kill a shark, another will move into that area/territory.. 
(Edit: sorry the general rule is if you remove one large shark, its area will be filled by two or more smaller sharks, thats my fear)
Now i give up...

the tassie divers were harassed by 5 big gws over three to 4 days then
Maybe yep, and in that case no warnings were shared by anyone.. None of the people buzzed by the shark/sharks let anyone else know and hence a man died. He was let down by a lack of any warning or a warning system .. 
Its i a large issue no warnings. For instance i wonder how many WA surfers would be aware of dead whales on beaches South of Mandurah ATM and the warnings issued by fisheries.

sorry guys chrispy and cobra but you both go to hard imo and im betting most of us are uncomfortable with it.

now you know
I am with JBshack, there has been a huge spike in the numbers of sharks and it is time to do something about it.

What about just taking them of the endangered list and setting a real low bag limit and strict sizing
i.e 1 per day over 6 foot and your golden
This would reduce the larger more predatory ones at least.....
Tux did you see a guy was attacked in Vic last week. A bronze whaler.. So were do you stop unless you kill them all..
The point is still the same, cull a thousand sharks and your in the water one day, a shark swims up to bite you, how has that cull helped you at that one moment
We need to think smarter and beyond the simple methods. These large sharks swim up and down the coast from South Australia. Drum lines and nets have been used up and down the coast for decades and yet the problem is increasing. The argument that "This beach has nets/drums and has no attacks" is really irrational as the sharks swim hundreds of kms weekly. So what you kill today will be replaced by another tomorrow. No nets and drums in Vic yet how many attacks, these sharks all swim through the waters.
As for price, well i guess its what price is your health worth.. IN WA our state government has spent $20 million dollars on this issue for what
A set of fins is $160, its a cheap price for some safety..IN the future when Katana get more support, anything will be possible.
Bro I never mentioned the species I just said you can catch whetever you want over 6 foot
I understand what your saying and ideally I would like to see a live and let live policy but the toothy buggers ain't listening
the correlation between GWS maturation times, the ban on killing them and teh number of attacks cannot be conincidence
Tux the only people who are saying the rise in attacks is due to a rise in the number sharks due to over protection, are journos or people who want them killed. You simply won't find anyone with any level of scientific knowledge or a marine degree that supports that argument. For that matter you won't find one that says that culling sharks will reduce attacks. So why would we not listen to the educated in this case, who all says its the wrong thing to do
If people are sick do they turn to a journalist selling a headline for a cure Well maybe a few might but why would we not listen to the experts on this one..
Oh and Lacey how do you know if a shark is hanging around in a area? seriously one that is spotted today compared to one spotted the next day, how can you tell the difference..
Bro you need to work out the differnce between a cull and re-introducing fishing with appropriate sizing and bag limits
Allowing recreational fish for sharks has a couple of advantages :
1. Reduces pressure on other species that are overfished which would in turn increase food sources for sharks
2. Reduce the number of large predatory animals that are responsible for the attacks
There is no way I would support a large scale cull. I do however support well managed fisheries

I agree, some one mentioned that about a week ago. I cant see the problrm with this.

BANG there it is, the voice of reason. A sensible well thought out, environmentally friendly solution in my humble opinion.
Did anyone catch Bondi Rescue the other day.
Interesting device they had on there. Be good to see it developed further.

Why would I find it for you. You don't read them anyway. Like you commenting on the article in the Australian. Then saying I didn't even read it..
However I understand you think it is new cause you get all your info from the corporate owned media who sell ad space based on hyped up articles to the masses..
But maybe try the csiro. Or are the the Tasmanian papers doing their own research now?
And pretty much the same article was done last year in at least 2 papers.
Posted here..
As I said old news...
But not sure why you respond to this and not any ofthe actual questions???
i just thought i would make my usual invaluable perspicacious contribution to this topic !
Not enough fèed for protected sharks.frustrated punters
Cull /shark hunt is the only proper way to get this done .
the winter redneck shark classic.
Any way they can get them-
tnt, shotguns. Machine guns, beer; Bourbon, pot, crack. Cross bows for the purists and for the real huntsman- knife only.
that will get rid of a few.
there may even be a couple of sharks caught too

Thats it crack pot
I've had a change of heart.
i would like to see a catch & release policy in place for GWS's
you catch them with a shotgun then release them
