Gday i was using prawn ,frozen ones , 6 to 8 lbs outfit is good , all bream were over 28cm and returned without harm as i dont trust eating fish that live in the nong but pinkies dont so they have been digested and im not dead yet so theyre ok one pinke 28cm . 29ccm and the bigger one 39 cm what a fight he put up i was using a 6lbs outfit
Cheers

Well done hot tuna,

Love to see a good pinkie. They put up a good fight for their size :thumbsup:

Hey Staceyattack,

Welcome to the forum mate,

Last year's recreational fishing guide mentioned somthing like 2 meals per week maximum consumption of fish from the Marby or close to the city. But i have just been through this year's guide and there doesn't seem to be any mention (or i missed it).

Personally i don't eat fish from close to the city due to my concerns about polution, but i do know other people certainly do eat catches from the same places i fish.

So i guess it's up to you. Unless of course someone else on here has info they might want to share that would indicate otherwise.

I know this isn't a definitive answer, but i hope my "2 bob's worth" helps you form your own opinion.

Cheers and enjoy the Marby, might catch you down there sometime.

Amanda
