Overview: about mud cockle
Mud cockles are small, bottom-dwelling shellfish often encountered by anglers fishing shallow estuaries and mudflats in southern Australia. They can be caught using small baits like bloodworms or tiny lures in 1-5m, and are commonly found in areas with soft sediment. Not typically targeted for eating, mud cockles are more of a bycatch species.
