We can all go the weekend before, but I don't care for the tides. Should I push this with the admiral? Just had our 3rd kid and it would definately be pushing the envelope.

We usually hit the beach Friday night, the boat all day saturday, then the beach Saturday around midnight....

What do you guys think?

Definitely Go! I had planned a week trip for that week then had to move it up a week. The "extreme" tides are a good thing especially if you rake your own bait since the low tides will be minus. The only disadvantage will be the full moon, which could be bright for night fishing. But I like the big tides.
