Simon,
All advice above is spot on. With regard zoning you can fish in the yellow zones, only limit is 1 hook or 1 lure. Be careful of some of the green zones. There is about a 90m shift between the published latitude and the maps, (points on the land), this is due to a datum shift, maps are on AGD 66; Lat is on WGS 84. Sounds like nothing until you figure out where the boundary is at Strong tide passage, Delcomyn and Cape Clinton. The zone boundaries are basically 90m further north than where they look like on the maps.
We have been catching heaps of nannygai, red emperor etc up the coast, even had a nannie last trip spit out one of my Gulps from about 3 weeks earlier! Wasn't so lucky second time around. Also heaps of coral trout around the 6kg mark and big eatuary cod(brown trout). I'd recommend taking a dropline to use to release the big cod, they don't vent very well and its a shame to kill more than 1 or 2. If their eyes pop I think they're gonnas, but if its only swim bladder they can be lowered down on a weighted line. If you catch a big cod still attached to about 20 snapper leads, can you return the sinkers to me please?
