Should I Eat Fish From Blue Fish Point?

[Spanker]

Hi fshraiders,

I took this missus out at first light to Blue Fish point off north head this morning. Just glorious - I wil post a report with pictures a bit later but need some advice.

we cuaght a couple of ripper bream , is it safe to eat non-pelagics off north head due to proximity of poo factory?

I don't want to die so any comments are much appreciated!

Wouldn't worry me.  But then again I didn't know there was a poo outlet there

The outfall for the poo factory is 5 K offshore. Shouldnt be a problem at Blue Fish!

Hehe yes ignorance can be bliss. So was the Tahs beating the reds at last.

Thanks gents, I thought it would be okay, was just a little nervous after seeing a bit of that program on A Current Affair last week about sewage of beaches in sydney. Also the biggest bream has a yellowish hue which might be perfectly natural, I just hadn't seen it before. Been ages since I caught big bream.

Cheers

I fish Bluefish all the time and Joe is right. Th ewater is magnificent there and the fish are beautiful to eat.

Go for it,

Pete
