    Default High Rock Crappie


    I moved to HR around June 2014 and after moving here saw some reports of coal ash leaking into the river from the retired Buck coal plant,when the river was 14 ft. below full pool. I have read the DNR consumption info from 2013 and would love to eat these fish but cannot talk myself into it. I am in no way bashing anyone or anything about this article.I would like some feedback on what the other crappie fishermen or anyone in the know, thinks about the consumption of these fish.

    Agreed, they look healthy and taste even better than they look. I am sure the preservatives in 90% of the stuff we eat are alot worse that some fresh crappie from high Rock. We usually eat fish about once a week and they usually come from somewhere on the yadkin chain, huh, it just hit me what's wrong with us, lol.

    They say you are what you eat. I guess that's why Gobbler is always in the money he's turning into a crappie.
