Inshore reef rockcod of the east coast, especially northern NSW and southern QLD. Targeted with bait and jigs over rocky reef and broken bottom. Often a reef-edge bycatch — fights hard for its size and is generally tough on heavier gear.
Generally fished with medium tackle — match gear to the conditions and the size of fish you expect.
No seasonal pattern for maori cod yet. Seasons shift with water temperature and local conditions — check state fisheries advice and recent local reports before planning a trip.
