Slender surface-feeding baitfish of southern Australian bays and estuaries — especially SA, VIC, TAS and southern WA. Targeted with light floats, small hooks and dough or maggot baits over berleyed weed beds. Outstanding eating when fresh and a top livebait.
Generally fished with ultralight tackle — match gear to the conditions and the size of fish you expect.
No seasonal pattern for sea garfish yet. Seasons shift with water temperature and local conditions — check state fisheries advice and recent local reports before planning a trip.
