Bream lesions
Last year, I chased bream in Docklands and all the fish I caught had lesions or red spots with scales falling off. Any idea what caused this? The one in the picture is just an example and heaps were worse with open wounds. I had to use gloves when I was handling the fish.

Re: Bream lesions
Its pollution in our Yarra , Maribyrnong rivers , i tend to think its spawing behaviour . But i am told by DPI its more likely bad water quality , due to fertilizers , crap entering from drains , e'coli etc .
I have caught many bream , infected this way through the years "not good @all" .

Re: Bream lesions
try using stinky baits then pluck your nose afterwards and you will also use gloves. LOLTonyzee wrote:Whats with the gloves FC, you are not going soft on us now? :haha2: :lol:

Re: Bream lesions
This is what happens when big container ships come into our docks and dump their ballas, apart from the starfish they dump/ which is bad enough, you have tonnes of exile diesel and oil in the ballas from the ships leaking engines being dumped in our docks too while emptying the ballas. And to top it off, the ships hulls are covered with infectious toxic algie, which the fish feed on. I was informed of all this by someone who works within the docklands, so don't quote me on this, but it wouldn't supprise me !.
I know for sure i wouldn't eat any fish out of docklands and right up the yarra to at least Richmond !, but thats me ..lol.
