They tend to come inshore, late winter or early spring. They leave again, late autumn/early winter, but in mild years some probably stay all year round.
The potting activity depends a lot on weather.Fishermen want to keep their pots working as much as possible, but if bad weathers coming they don't want to risk losing £££'s worth of gear.
