Maori Cod

[rakey1]

Hey All,
does any one know what the min size and bag limit is for maori cod.
Also, do they fall into the :no more than 30 reef fish in your possesion: category.
Also wondering about those little red cod with black spots you catch a heap of at 1770. We call them footballer cod.
Cant seem to find any of this on the DPI site.
All replies welcome.

Hi The maori cod is 45cm and comes under the reef bag limit.
The Footballer cod has no size or bag limit, its names is black tipped cod,and only as black along the top of its dorsal fin.
You have to watch it as the Tomato cod has black spots on its side and is coming under the new size in the changes out at present and the size will be 35cm and will also fall under the reef bag limit, and has a bag limit of 5.
Both the above two look very similiar in colour.
regards

I could not find any mention of a size limit for Maori Cod on the DPI web site. I always thought it was 35cm, the same as an estuary cod and thought the bag was 10. Can anyone show this printed anywhere?

Thanks for the link jaybee, but im still confused. Are the size/bag limits law or proposed.
I found another DPI page that lists bag limit on coral trout as 10, not 7, and cod as 10 not 5?

That link to the DPI is good, but it is for PROPOSED size and bag limits. Not Law Yet. as far as I know ?

cheers Phill

That's the page I had been going off, as far as I know it is the only current one around.

That's because Maori Cod don't have a size or bag limit. ???

Which Phil, was part of the original question.
