Is the flesh of big sharks full of some chemical that gives off the foul smell??

You get it on some small ones as well, mostly female. I think it's when they're on heat or in pup. Soaking in milk removes it.

Hey steve, perhaps you should have a separate board for some of the ALL-TIME-CLASSIC-THREADS.
this one perhaps should be a compulsory read for all newbies, just so they know what they are getting into. ;D ;D FLMAO.

Re: Drum lines for Sharks.
I just got recognised 8-) 8-) ( saw my avatar picture ) from this thread by a bloke in the BP servo at Morayfield. He is a guest here and remembers this thread very well. He came up and asked me a few questions, ( lucky Im not the shy sensitive type hey !!! ;D ) reckons he has never laughed so hard in all of his life.
Jeff, if you read this join up mate, members have the best time.
Does this make me an Ausfish celebrity ? 8-) ;D ;D ;D ;) ;) ::)
Cheers

Re: Drum lines for Sharks.

Re: Drum lines for Sharks.
I found this diagram on the DoPI website.
I know they have them for a reason, but it's a bloody cruel way of controlling sharks. I am sure they dont use them in South or Western Australia and there are some fairly scary Great Whites down there.
If not illegal, it should be along with longlining, deep sea trawling and trawling on or near the GBR

Yeah they arent good, but then again most fishing techniques result in a cruel death.
Some techniques are far worse then others.

Re: Drum lines for Sharks.
I just found this -
Three illegally set up drum lines have been found off the WA coast in the last few months. A four week operation involving Police and other enforcement agencies failed to locate any persons who could be held responsible for setting them up. The drum lines were destroyed.
Im not sure how old that article is ? :-/
I just dont get why someone would set one up, then just leave it although if you got wind that the law was coming for you I guess you would forget about it unless you were really screwed up, but then I reckon those types of people are pretty screwed up.
Looking at that diagram, I would say they cost a few dollars to make.
Re: Drum lines for Sharks.
The drum lines set up by government contractors didnt stop that kid losing his leg in WA. Just read that it would have swam past three drumlines.
Maybe the big sharks are getting to know what drum lines are ?
