Overview: about bignose unicornfish
Medium-sized reef runner found off NSW, WA and TAS, with a penchant for deep offshore structures. Target with small jigs or plastics in 10-50m, where they feed on zooplankton around drop-offs. Not typically a strong fighter, but can be a welcome bycatch for anglers chasing larger reef species.
