Shark Regulations
■Hook and line are the only allowable gear for harvesting sharks and the use of natural bait when using multiple hooks is prohibited
These laws have been interpreted by many and as far as most intelligible fishermen and their lawyers friends can determine, the law is in regards to the use of hooks with multiple shanks, such as a treble hook or even 4-barbed hook. Also, our goal is NOT upon the harvesting of sharks at all; it is with the intentions of release in the best way possible of a magnificent creature we have deceived and overcome in fierce battle. I don't eat sharks so catch and release is my way to go so how does this law affect me? Especially considering the majority of sharks I can catch now are restricted from harvest anyhow.
I feel that this law was written to still allow people targeting mako sharks and others on lures to keep their chances the same with treble hooks on their lures.
Just an average fisherman.
Here is the thread that talks about the law at hand:
