Overview: about piked spurdog
Small to medium-sized shark found in coastal waters off NSW, QLD and WA, putting up a decent fight on lighter tackle. Target them with small baits or lures, such as squid or fish imitations, in 10-50m over reefs or structure. Not commonly targeted for food due to their small size and rough flesh.
