They may not be not taking too many fish but they are taking undersized ones I'm sure. Most fish-eating fish(bass/pike/pickerel) have one per week or month health warnings. Carp are apparently the worst(no surprise)Perhaps those are the signs they should put up:

I agree, I've only seen signs in Newark about not eating crabs. People need to made aware because I've noticed that if I, just a regular guy, tell bucket anglers they shouldn't be eating out of the river they get defensive or pretend they dont understand me. Forget keeping the fish, it's not safe.
