Bar Cod | Fishing for Banded
Rock Cod
Bar Cod or Banded Rock Cod
- Live baits should be your
first choice if specifically targeting Cod on bait, they will
eat anything but the usual baits of Mullet, Herring and Pike are
all good for inshore with yellowtail, slimey mackerel and small
but legal reef species for offshore. Any lure is acceptable for
Cod so long as it’s tough and fished at the right depth in the
right area.

fish with a large mouth.
They can grow to 80kg, but only the smaller fish (to about 4kg) are good eating.

bottom. The bar cod seem to eat them fairly aggressively if they are
there in numbers.
