Overview: about yellowbanded snapper
Medium-sized reef snapper found in NSW and QLD, putting up a decent fight on lighter tackle. Target them with soft plastics, jigs or live baits worked close to reef structure in 10-50m, particularly at night. Good eating fish with flaky white flesh, worth chasing for a tasty feed.
