The Australian Cobbler — Cnidoglanis Macrocephalus — is a popular recreational catch for Australian fishermen. Primarily a freshwater fish, the Cobbler is found in estuaries and shallow coastal waters. The species, also commonly known as the Estuary Catfish or South Australian Catfish, is recognizable by its mottled blackish-gray scales and spiked crown. The best time to go fishing for Cobbler is at night, as this is when they feed.
