Re: Another Jewfish attack...well several really.
I couldn't agree with kmoose more ! I can remember pictures of my father and friends with jewfish shot from under the Howard Franklin and Gandy bridge in the 60's. I also remember the days when you hardly saw jewfish (a result of the guys powerheading them and shooting to many from under the local bridges, dad!). The posts about the evil and dangerous jewfish are getting ridiculous. If you choose to shoot fish around the published reefs and wrecks you may have give some to the landlord. So What ! It's only a damn fish. If it concerns you that much, take up another sport.
The "kill em all and rip their guts out rhetoric" is what will eventually ban my favorite sport so think before you type. |

Re: Another Jewfish attack...well several really.
Point taken...I'll get my head out of the sand and quite living in a dream world. I don't really wish any harm to them, some enjoy seeing them. They have become a problem though even to fisherman and something needs to be done other than just everyone quite fishing and diving at these recreational sites.

Re: Another Jewfish attack...well several really.
Btw and over population of anything that has been tamed and is agressive is wrong and should be brought under control. If the state of FL doesnt see that its a shame and BTW if a grizzly or a cougar attack you out west u can shoot the SOB then report it to the game wardens and they file a report on the incident. Then let you go!This is not the case with sharks or Jewfish. Its all fun and games untill some family goes recreational diving and some 14 or 15 year old kid gets grabbed by a 500 lb GG. Because he was snammer then the fish and in his realm. A safty issue is a safty issue. An over population of agressive animals is just that. There is nothing more to it.
Here is an Idea ,, the state should fund a TON of new reefs to aid in the dispersion of the GG population, Instead of them hanging in popular places in 10s and 12s hhmmm =) |
