I would honestly just take regular ovulation tests (dollar store ones work fine) and have sex daily from the time I had fertile cervical fluid until I could confirm ovulation via temperature increase. (Fertility Awareness method).
I'm not a fan of clearblue ovulation tests because it measures estrogen and LH, and my estrogen is high enough that I would get positives way early in my cycle. Regular ovulation tests only detect the LH hormone that increases right before the egg is released.
SMEP works fine *if* you actually ovulate after the test is positive. Some women will get multiple positive results or get positives and not ovulate.

Forgot where I've ready this (because I've been reading everything I can and my brain is mushed now lol) but I was thinking that once you get EWCM then maybe it's a bit late? What do you think?

Not at all! EW CM is exactly what you want for optimal conception. It's when it starts drying up back to creamy or completely dry that it's too late. When you ovulate your basal body temperature increases from the previous six temperatures from the days before. It will stay in the higher range until you get your period or stay high if you are pregnant. if you can get your hands on it, taking charge of your fertility by Tony Weschler is a great book.

Anyone know why my cheap opks have only just started showing a dark line when my clear blue test says peak?

Yep clearblue tests for estrogen too. That was a problem for me because I have high estrogen levels anyway, so I would get a peak on like CD 8 and not actually ovulate until CD 17. I eventually just quit using them. DH was too wore out from all the BD'ing!
