Southern Australian shark of bays, estuaries and inshore reef from southern WA across to NSW. Targeted with squid, salmon or trevally baits on the bottom, often at night around tide changes. The 'flake' of fish-and-chip shops — clean, mild flesh.
Generally fished with medium tackle — match gear to the conditions and the size of fish you expect.
Seasons shift with water temperature and local conditions, so check recent reports before a trip.
