Had a bit of luck last week, there were definitely a few being landed, and were irrespective of tide. We got there at low tide when a couple were caught then every so often leading up to high tide one would be pulled in.
I can't find any updates on what the commercial fishery is doing. I assume judging by the posts above that they are still open as of today. When do they close? .. my guess is when the run is nearly gone and nothing left for the sports fishery. Tough for us, but they have to make a living.
