Catch-all for the many wrasse species across Australian reefs — bluethroat in the south, Maori and tuskfish in the north and on the east coast. Targeted with bait and small jigs over rough reef and broken ground. Good eating but slow-growing; size and bag limits vary by state and species.
Generally fished with light tackle — match gear to the conditions and the size of fish you expect.
No seasonal pattern for wrasse yet. Seasons shift with water temperature and local conditions — check state fisheries advice and recent local reports before planning a trip.
