Estuary Cod

[Tri-Kun]

Hello Ausfishers....
we had many fishing experditions, and caught numerous number of cods but hardly kept any, cause i heard that the legal size for a cod is 50cm,
until the day we caught another cod that was going at around the 40-45cm mark, and my friend who and amatuer who insisted in keeping it to show off to his mum and had a feed of course,
so could someone correct me if im wrong the legal size is at 50cm or different???

thanks tri....

35 cm is the minimum size in Queensland for Estuary Cod. #See attachment copied from the official regulations below which are available at http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/cps/rde/xb...ebaglimits.pdf

Also there is a good article on estuary cod written by Webby in this month's Bush & Beach.

Have a look at the regulations for other cods.

Heya Tri Kun

The estuary cod is 35cm but a few others look quite similar and have 50cm limits so make sure you can tell them apart if you are tempted to keep a smaller model.
