I just heard that the texas parks and wildlife has updated the fish consumption for lake worth.It looks like all fish is contamanated with pcbs and you should not eat fish from there except once a week and only 8 ounces.This has changed from the report in 2010.and i was just getting ready to go chase some crappie.Have you guys heard about this?

Pcbs are nasty. Have a buddy that�s a wildlife biologist who tells me that�s about the worst stuff that can get in a lake as they take a long time to break down naturally.

I don�t live far from the lake. Never fished it much because of this.

REVISED: Lake Worth in Tarrant County (source: TPWD website)

Chemicals of Concern:
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins
Persons should not consume smallmouth buffalo from these waters.
For flathead catfish, adults are advised to limit consumption to one 8-ounce meal per month. Women of childbearing age and children under 12 should not consume flathead catfish.
For blue catfish, striped bass, white bass, and common carp, adults should limit consumption to two 8-ounce meals per month. Women of childbearing age and children under 12 should limit consumption to one 4-ounce meal per month.
For freshwater drum, adults are advised to limit consumption to three 8-ounce meals per month. Children and women of childbearing age should not eat more than one 4-ounce meal per month.

So doesn�t look like a ban on crappie, or gar...

I have always heard that crappie are the least affected by pollutants. Crappie move a lot, are not bottom feeders and do not have a blood line.
