I have had a crack at both Breamlea and Point Lonsdale back beach for donuts both times in the last two weeks. Saturday I was near Torquay for work and when I finished went down to JanJuc for a look, I had no fishing gear so just walked and there were a few bait fishos that hadn't caught anything either.
Maybe they are further up the coast or might just be one of those seasons.

I am wondering if they migrate into Bass Strait based on the water temperature compared to the bay or something, and maybe it's still warm in the bay.

I think you may be completely right, it would make sense that they've yet to migrate as the north/mid bay is currently warmer than outside the heads.
If that's correct, it may be a little while before the actively start moving compared to last year.

Went down to Moggs Creek yesterday afternoon and walked towards Eastern view casting metal slugs up and back for donuts...
Would of walked about 500mm up as I was almost near the GOR sign and turned back. Spent about 3 hours all up and didn't get one strike. They must not be around at the moment anyone else having any luck?

Spoke to a couple of mates down the surf coast, they're saying that since the heads temps are now warmer than the bay that they've started to run.
Planning a week surf fishing my way from Barwon Heads down to Warrnambool in the next fortnight. Keen.
