Iron Cove Bludge

[Sir Battler]

Have been laid up since friday last week due to wisdom teeth removal so decided to hit the Iron Cove bridge for a half assed session. Bought some crappy looking chicken guts from the servo and some basic tackle since my gear is still with a mate. Managed a 3 bream (20-25cm), (luckily) snared a blue swimmer about 30 across the shell and a decent flatty around 60-70cm (exactly two thongs long). Ran out of beer and getting burnt so called it quits after about 1 1/2 hrs.

Would you guys eat fish / crabs from the iron cove area

[Guest Jewel]

Definately not!!!

Particularily the crabs.

The mud in IC is a particularily nasty foul smelling type that you usually get around storm water drains associated with urban runoff/pollution.

I agree, wouldn't touch anything from around that area.

triple the sentiment there definately a catch and release area if you value your health.

Filthy as it is, isn't it a wonderful place!

Agreed though regarding eating things out of there. I personally have eaten fish out of there but I wouldn't put money on it being healthy on a regular (more than once :S ) basis!

Cheers fellas, will definitely be catch and release. With all the other crap i eat and drink, the dioxin could be the proverbial straw that broke the camels back
