Overview: about vermicular cod
Vermicular cod are tough reef dwellers found over coral and rocky structure in VIC, QLD and WA. They're targeted with large baits, jigs and soft plastics in 10-100m, often requiring heavy tackle to extract from the reef. Good eating, but be prepared for a strong fight.
