Premier east and southern-coast pelagic, found from southern QLD round to WA and a flagship gamefish for Sydney, Jervis Bay, Eden and Port Lincoln. Targeted with live yakka and squid, deep jigs and stickbaits around reef, FADs and the shelf break. Strict slot limits and possession rules in most states.
Generally fished with heavy tackle — match gear to the conditions and the size of fish you expect.
Seasons shift with water temperature and local conditions, so check recent reports before a trip.
