Status of cockburn sound

 Hi All - I'm planning on getting out fishing over this long weekend, and want to get the kids onto some nice bread and butter fish out of the souns, but to be honest I'm still a little hesitant following the recent fish kill.

Has anyone being catching any whiting / KG's / other species in the sounds and are they ok eating wise ?

 

Thanks in advance

Had a feed of calamari from the southern end of the sound a couple of weeks ago.

We all got through unscathed...................and they were delicious.

I reckon you'll be OK !
