Thanks elkrun - I appreciate the advice. Unfortunatly, if we are smart we will bag it for this weekend.

If we make it out this season and the weather cooperates, we may run up as far as P.A. I will email you asking for the coordinaces you reference above if you don't mind.

What is your opinion, or anyone's, about halibut fishing in the East Straights? Waste of time? Is Partridge, Dallas, or Smith Bank the best choice, or is there a better place to go?

Thanks
