Ale 301 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Took the midget to St Kilda playground yesty arvo. I noticed a couple cars parked on the side of the main road (after you turn of Pt Wakefield) and saw a couple guys standing over looking what looks like a concrete drain , but they were fishing in it!!! Is this a spot X of sorts or what? Is there always water in that drain or just post some rain and most importantly, has anybody fished it and caught fish out of there?

fisho86 0 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I have been told there is bream in there but I have a feeling it is connected to bolivar treatment plant somehow not 100% sure on that one though :sick: Cheers Fisho Savagelip 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

D1_taxi86 0 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 cookie told me theres big carp in there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 480 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I"ve heard the tide pushes up it and big bream and even mullys can be caught,and when the fresh comes back carp move in, its not legal to fish it if you cross the fence [private land]And why anyone would wanna fish a drain which is an outfall of treated sewerage is beyond me . :sick: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lofty 27 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 The drain comes from the Bolivar sewage treatment plant and ends up entering the sea at chapman creek i beleive. The water in it is treated sewage.At times good sized bream can be caught and i've seen people get there bag from there. At other times i've seen plenty of carp caught from it. other times a mixture! Highly reccomend not eating anything from it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest horses4courses Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm thinking that some of the contents of the "processed water" was larger than some of the kayaks .......never mind the fish being "packed with nutrients" :dry: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tonyb 1,017 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 We had an interesting and educational talk given by the EPA at the monthly MFA Meeting last night and one of the big picture issues that has driven Adelaides "Blue Line" of sea grasses further and further off shore is the nitrogen loads from poo treatment plants along the Metro Coast-line :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: Poppa Snake and snapper15.4kg 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger 48 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I find it interesting that we condemn the sale of Basa (Meekong catfish)as vile and dirty crap, yet anglers here CHOOSE to fish in an effluent drain if given the chance! snapper15.4kg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ale 301 Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 They actually break the law to do so aswell!!! :woohoo: I reckon we should put a proposal in to get a round of the Kayak bream comp to be held in there, make for some good tv if its "flowing" nicely on the day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
