Milmo 116 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Is it allowed to take the razor fish in metro area? Saw a group of razor today while am fishing in the shallow. I thought the shell empty but it actually alive.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqdvY8h1-3M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CallopHunter 1 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I think as long as it isn't an inter-tidal zone you should be right. I've gone diving for razors and they are actually really good on the table Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The fish in there are okay, but I wouldn't be eating any filter feeding creatures as they're the first ones to get chock full of heavy metals.If it's just for bait/burley though...

brenton 637 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 There are plenty of them in the metro area but I wouldn't advise eating razors from the metro area infact i'd warn you against it.They are filter feeders and the runoff metro is just too toxic to take the chance....this a can vouch for first hand after eating some a few years back i was sick for 6 weeks and had all the symptoms of heavy metal poisoning. cheers brenton Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But i think should be ok to use as a bait especially now is whiting season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
