Pretty sad eh!
Wow, that don't look good, I'm glad we don't keep many to eat in Florida. Thanks for sharing Danny.
And I just fed all you guys them fish the other day ! ! !
(Why you think I donated em ?)
Ya'll didn't see me eatin any did ya (I was eatin hush puppies)...........
Mercury levels down here have been high for years - especially in the Bass family and thats posted
by the FWC which rivers & lakes allowed weekly consumption
Didn't realize that they are now bringing to light Saltwater fish
That just ain't right. lol
No Sweat . when you get my age it don't matter anyway LOL RR
Crappie - Bluegill have traces of Mercury in them, but from what i have read, can be consumed
in moderate helpings - not every day - 365 per year.
Bass, main food source is smaller fish-water worms, virtabrates (my spelling sucks) bascially
anything that eats directly off floor of lake.
Excellent article - Danny, I had not seen this one before.
Thanks for researching and posting
Lets see here. Do not eat kingfish, cobia sharks and tuna. They all but closed grouper and snapper fishing. Killed everything inshore. Yep that should help get folks down here.
:Doh:
Thanks for the infomation. I find it interesting that the FWC has been busy busy stocking all florida lakes with big mouth bass. According to their own information
DO NOT EAT!
Talk about depressing................ yet at the same time "catch, photo and release" looks like may be the norm more and more moving into future years.
if u really want to get depressed look at the Fwc website and the chart of fingerling fish stocked in every Lake in fl. several years are listed. look at the the Harris chain for example. 0 crappie6b fingerings added for years but many many big mouth and other species .NOW DOES THAT PAINT A PICTURE OR NOT? Now look at your home lakes and see what fwc is doing t9 them the last several years.
To take another step look at their very own report on the top 10 lakes in fl. Nothing on the Harris chain EXCEPT LAKE GRIFFIN IS #10. LOL. WHAT A JOKE ! WHAT U THINK OF THAT SLAB?

This past Feb/March when I was on Woodruff you could see a big area on the southeast side where even the palms are starting to die. I guess the logic is, if the government gives you money to spray, You spray until the tanks are dry. When will the stupidity end? JC
Hopefully when the FWC & ARMY CORE OF ENGINEERS GET ON SAME PAGE.
Hopefully with the latest round in Indian River and St Lucie inlet they might actually add some real science to what they are doing instead of just nuking evrrything and hoping the end is ok. What year was it they killed everything living in Monroe and still trying to repair. I know it was before we moved here in 1985.
I think the first year I fished Woodruff / Dexter it was 2001 or 2. I remember being all ready to troll those lakes. When I got out on Dexter it was full of hydrillas and just about impossible to troll. So I slowly fished my way over to Woodruff. It was every bit as full of hydrillas and dollar pads over there. The next year I'm out there and on more than one day there was a helicopter dropping some type of pellets into the lakes. Later that week I was told it was to start thinning out the vegetation because all the fish camps had ask for it because the fishermen where complaining. After that year there was a marked decrees in vegetation on both lakes. Then they started with the air boats spraying around the shore line. This past spring was the first time I had ever fished those lakes and saw almost no dollar pads at all. Surly the loss of all of this cover will affect the spawn. Not to mention what the spray does directly to the fish, and the people that eat them. JC
