Fun to shoot and good to eat! In my experience they don't "attack" after being shot but I'm sure it could happen. Make sure you exit the water soon with your catch and clean and fillet it quick. The meat will get nasty if you let it sit at all. Probaly one of the most abndant species around to shoot and I see no sign of them being rare. I'm sure someone is going to start crying about the death of a shark but what else is new. They put up a good fight but tire quickly and I usually shoot mine with a 75cm eurogun and get close and it does the job no problem. They can be harder to approach in good vis but I often bump into them in the surf zone and that makes it easier to get close to them. Also easy to approach at night! Good luck and let me know if you want any other info.
