Is these fiddies and bugs safe to eat? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hi all,

I'm up around LA County and I am just getting into dropping a line and am wondering if all this game is safe too eat . . . (No offense to Team Sewer Fishing of course).

Alas, I'm just ignorant.

I used to dive PV and NOW learn all about "DDT fields forever. . .". I wonder about stuff off Pedro and LB with LA River and San Gabriel River runoff.

Is there anything "published" about how safe stuff close in to So Cal is to eat?

Excepting white croaker being a DDT magnet, I just don't have a clue as if the local stuff's good for ya. Like bugs off the breakwater etc. Bacteria etc.

Heck the crawdads from Averill Park didn't kill me . . .
