So, at the end of 7 pages of drivel (which admittedly I contributed to), and as originally posted by Zuke, did "anyone [end up] have[ing] any info on the dolphin killed by a shark at Mettams yesterday [1/1/13] afternoon"?

Suba, the man with a spear gun in his left hand and a bow in his right hand, shouting conservation and animal cruelty.

I've never heard him talking about animal cruelty..? I have heard him worried about our oceans.

I have a question.

Does anybody else think that the amount (big increase) in smaller shark numbers could be anything to with less great whites

Don't know how legitimate their news source is:

Visited Whaleworld in Albany today & had an awesome old bloke (Peter) guiding us through the retired whaling station telling some great stories. Like how 5m sharks were just the little ones & they used to see 10 to 12 metre sharks pretty often. They once had like 200 great whites appear suddenly & go into a feeding frenzy on this whale that was getting brought in. There was nothing left but bones & during the frenzy, the sharks were even eating each other. Throughout the tour Peter told us heaps of very interesting stories, quite a few shark related. I bought a book by Ches Stubbs, "Memoirs of a whaling skipper" & I'll share more stories if a shark thread's still going when I've finished it

Regarding the drum line fishing to eradicate problem sharks in the SW. It will be interesting to see how long they or it remains. They set one up at Wedge & it wasn't there very long. I heard a rumour it was stolen, dunno if thats true or not.

I'm not in favor of drum line fishing either, as its not as selective as a bloke in a chopper shooting identified targets & therefore not as effective.

Disappointing, this should have made it to 10 pages.

Dunsborough rumour mill suggests a 6m specimen was dropped near the cape late last week... as in dropped permanently.

I'd be careful if its even slightly true. There is still a big fine for killing endangered species. To be honest the Federal government have even questioned the right for our state government to kill a endangered animal. In regards as under what circumstances they can and can't

I just think it's funny that all the attention gets focused on Eagle bay/ Bunkers stretch, it's like the Cottesloe pool/tower thing. I bet this wouldn't be happening if it weren't peak tourist season with all the power voters holidaying at their beach shacks.
These pollies sure like to please their voters.

bit off topic JB, but are the RIB's they've got imported? I think the bigger ali boats they have are locally built, just thinking that if they are to spend those dollars at least they do it locally. Mick you're a cynical bastard but spot on as usual

10-12m sharks?

Perhaps that proves they are endangered if there are none of them left and are no longer sighted hey? [}:)]

Nope it just means we're not seeing 10-12m gw sharks. There's obviously plenty of smaller, yet just as dangerous gw sharks that are constantly seen off our shores. If gw's were truly endangered, we would rarely see them. This is not the case...

what about the megaladon thing, MickPC did say the tour guide was old
