 I'd love to give you a hot tip mate but havnt found any yet myself this season. Does seem like there is plenty around tho! South of river seems to have warmer water and sounds like they are getting more pelagic action down that way. I'm north of river and there are schools of tuna around in close and out wide, should be a few mackies amongst them. 

Have you given anywhere a go yet?

 Only place I've tried so far this year was jurien bay, I personally did not get one but I did see a few boats hook up to a few. Guess we just have to keep searching :)

 I gave a bit of a troll a go on the weekend out from hillarys in 20 m uUpto the back of 3 mile and just got weed, no birds seen. Got a heap of weed on the Trebles, had to keep pulling them in to clean them up, nothing aside from weed monsters

Coventry reef

 Back of and inside of ffb in 20m of water and look for more than 23degrees temp.

weed on treble is an issue but persist.

run lures at 5-8 m back and 15-20m

mix up deep divers and surface 

good luck.

 Off the back of reef round

 Off the back of reef round the 20m mark or Over Bombies and ledges.  Weathers it's ffb, 3 mile rotto or any of the islands. Looks for birds working or bait balls on the sounder. As others have said look for the warmer water 23,24deg. Try use a variety of lures.Put the time in and eventually you'll get reward
