Dwells in the southern coastal waters of Australia from southern QLD to WA. They are an unusual looking fish and reveal a thumb-like spot on either side of its body. Usually habitat the bottom of deep offshore waters close to reef or rocky environments. Winter migration brings the species to shallower estuaries and bays.

Use live baits such as yellowtail with the tail clipped and set it near the bottom of the bed. Floats can be used to assist.

Fine table fish with a high price to match. They have very succulent, white, sweet, finely textured flesh that exhibits low oil. There are not many bones which are easily removed.
