Long time reader, first time poster. I enjoy reading the board and appreciate all info. I have taken in over the past few months.

Any other reports from the East Straights. We were considering launching at Keystone and heading to Smith Island.

Also, what do you think the odds are of holding bottom on the big tide swing this weekend? It's about a 12' swing. Should we skip it and find another weekend?

This is my first tirp out for Halibut, so any advice would be appreciated.
You can do it, depending on how much weight you want to fish with. I would wait for another weekend, I dont think the eastern strait will likely hit the quota quickly, if at all. The weather is supposed to be crummy from the forecast, however, they'll change that ten times before the weekend. good luck.
