[mangler]

You sure they were eels??? :dry:

[James W]

yep..smelly poo fed freshwater eels:P ..some were huge thou

[kiwifisho]

By the looks of em they would eat anything:P :ohmy:

[mangler]

haha, and to answer you're question that would be a no from me, even though i don't mind the old eel.

[Shrimpo]

Not wrong KiwiFisho I saw a asian fellas keepin toads and catties the other day. yuck :X

[kiwifisho]

I know of a asian lady on the coast dying from eatin toadies:blush:

[Cowfish13]

Wow, didn't realise there were Eels in there:ohmy:

Might have to try catching them one day;) They go pretty hard:woohoo:

But would only release. The water there is actually very clean, but I would still release just cause I wouldn't ever realy want to eat an Eel

[James W]

yer the location of where the eels are getting taken is the thing..must be some sort of toxins in em ya reckon?

[kiwifisho]

You would have to make sure it was an eel n not somethin else lol:silly:

[bogan]

So is this what you get when you order "mixed seafood stir-fry" at the asian restaurant down the road?

[kiwifisho]

I wonder if theres any turdles in there lol:P

[Stinger]

Ah those creatures with that extra bit of added flavour.

[reef_raider]

id never eat an eel no matter where it came from

just a quick question, how do you get to there, iv tried and couldnt find the right road? is it a private access road?

[Rocket75]

you're right about not fishing from that spot Eli I'd fall in for sure...I wouldn't eat the eels but I'm not sure the eels would feel the same way about a bit of rocketmeat:huh:

Rocket

[EMP]

After catching a few eel (from a different spot obviously) and being put off by the slime and everything, I don't think I would eat an eel.

And hey, I'm even Asian.

EMP

[ellicat]

They could mistake the pocket rocket with a baby eel:P :laugh:

[Rocket75]

at least make it that a "juvenile eel" thank you very much:silly: baby...why I never:P

[flatty_catcher]

Doubt the eels would have any toxins from effluent.

wouldnt eat em anyway unless of course I was hard up for a feed.

The bad toxins are heavy metals and some hydrophobic toxins that reside in the fat of fish.

So it would be an interesting study to actually test those eels just to see if there is any adverse toxins in them.

Since the eels live there they could accumulate toxins over time.

Stranger things have occured, so no I wouldnt be so trusting.

[Mack_attack]

Is it just me or is it pretty cool that those eels manged to get in there ,

and besides the water that flows out there is pretty sterile so what do they eat?

[James W]

yer i know they head out to sea to breed..but i think they die once they spawn..so they must get in there from a creek near the sewage plant...mite google earth it and see if there is a creek up there...and what do they eat???...good question...never seen fish in there..reckon shrimp would live in there too?...

[pcsolutionman]

I know Terry has fished there for shark bait lol, he said he has got some BIG eels

Hell yeah!

Push a cricket stump into their mouth. Dip them in batter, deep fry, dip into tomato sauce and viola!

A king sized Dagwood Dog!

Wonder how they'd sell at the Ekka? [img size=322]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/dagwood.jpg

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[benandshell]

hay all

when i was living at bamaga we used to go fishing for butter fish

butter fish are the most sweetest awesome tasting fish with relatively no bones i absolutely love them the only drawback is the best place to catch the little buggers is just after the ships grop their poo tanks as they love to eat it

oh well its not like the poo is filtered by their flesh so yeah i would definately eat fish that eat poo

maybe not eel as roll mops are horrible
