Not regularly, but they are pretty common in both bays and I know of a few people getting them in shallow water.

Probably much like the snapper, right conditions and they come in shallow.

Saw one of these caught in the shallower section of Brighton the other day. Was quite big too. Cool looking fish!

Pain in the arse when your offshore, dropping your gear to the bottom, get to mid water, tug tug tug, and all you gear`s gone `cos the stupid bloody `couta bit the swivel....b**tard..
