I've heard and seen photos that they're there, but it's sounding like they're not as plentiful as people were hoping.

Well, fished for a good three hours and can say there were none around point Lonsdale last night ☹️ Bloke I was talking to said they’ve been pulling them up to 2kg over the last week but no one was getting bites while I was out.

Last year there seemed to be a lot of brown weed covering the areas everywhere around Lonsdale Bite.
Last week I was fishing for them there seemed to be a fair bit of weed also -Not as bad as last year
Still might be a bit early.
Thanks for the update-Ill stay in St Leonards
