In March the winds were predominantly from the east and south east. The water temperatures were around 26.9 degrees which was slightly above average. The tailor started to show up in on the headlands towards the full moon. I caught my best tailor of the month on a 60 gram metal slug at Iluka Bluff, just after low tide on an overcast afternoon. It was over 85 cm long. I caught plenty more through the month when the swell allowed. They were nearly always over 40 cm long. I tried a few sinking hard boiled lures but metal slugs caught the biggest fish.

In the run up to the new moon on the 10th I had a couple of good sessions fishing for jewfish/ mulloway at Woody Head. I caught plenty of small jewfish before finally tempting an 80cm unit on a GULP squid vicious soft plastic in the Nuclear Chicken colour.

The river was fishing well and running fairly clear. I caught a few flathead and flounder in the shallows in between the rock fishing sessions.
