Keep your marine park dribble down south culling crocs will never eventuate into croc sanctuaries.
When are people going to realise they are having there way of life taken away from them because of the ridiculous amount of crocs in our water ways.
Some people were brought up in the the water or on the water up here and then you have southerners coming up here telling locals to stay out of the water and they should have known better. Yes they should have known better and be more careful but were do you draw the line? Not fishing at all? Not go near the water? End up like the teddy bear southern states..
The people to first whinge about anything are always the ones to say they shouldnt have been there it's the crocodiles rights to be there what rights it's a over grown lizard cull them..
People whinge about youth crime yet everyone warns them off about going out and enjoying them selves in the bush/water out fishing which I believe gives young kids a far better up bringing and understanding of life..yet nothing is being done about the number of crocs that are becoming more and more frequent in swimming and fishing areas close to town. frigging crocs shoot them all..

Killing them all is never going to happen, even if you tried, it couldnt happen.
Seriously though, if you take the risk, of going in tomget am20 buck lure, you either dont care about getting attacked, or are prepared and think its ok.
I balanced on a half sunk log last week, to get a prtotype lure back, only made one, and it worked great! The whole time I was on the log, I was thinking, how stupid am I?
when I got in reach of the lure, I was leaning out with a long piece of bamboo, trying to knock it off the stick, I cast it on. I was well and trully croc bait. Even if they culled them big time, where I was I reckon I would still have been croc bait.

You make me laugh Doug.
Im not one of those latte sipping southerners.
Im just warning you about them. Dont talk about the old days mate.
Not evryone had a 4x4 and boat in the old days, most do now but.

It's easy to say "stay out of the water", we all launch boats, some of us at Shady, most of us has swum a barra at some point and people take a p..s of the back of the boat I'm presuming?

I've had enough of the keyboard warrior save the croc hippies, the government has two choices here, start culling these lizards or start forking out for a lot more coppers to police people like me who'll be blowing them away.

RIP to old mate too.
