rockfisherman Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hi Raiders I fish out of and eat the fish i catch out of both Botany bay and Sydney harbour, and after telling some people of my haul on sunday and having it for lunch, they had expressed concerns. If Raiders like they can let me know how they feel about this, Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewhunter Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 G'day. I think our question would be. Where do you catch your fish, what fish are you eating & how much do you consume? I'm sure with that info you will get plenty of opinions. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGF Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 i think there was a post about this few weeks back somone had actually contacted the fisheries about the fish in botany and so far they have expressed no concerns about the fish in botany however harbour fish i think the levels have gone down slightly but still 1 per week i think was ok? cant really confirm this on harbour fish as i rarely fish the harbour as botany is just easier for me and closer but yeh from what was found out botany seems to be A'Ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickster Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 As far as the fish being caught in certain areas, i still work on the theory that only fish that are territorial should come into this category. Remember, most bread and butter fish "migrate" to some extent. The bream or blackfish that you may catch next month or so in the, say, Balmain area, may well have been the fish you nearly hooked off the rocks at Manly in November. They quite often move into the estuaries in the cooler months to spawn, then back out again. This is why certain fish are found in certain places at certain times of the year. Not saying that you can't for instance get blackfish off the rocks in Autumn/Winter but it's a lot harder work. Mate and I fished a well known spot on Sunday off the rocks, ideal conditions, 3 hours - 3 fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
