In LJ current is more important than tide for the most part, with a strong downhill (south) current ideal. With that said, I feel I catch more fish around the swing of the tide. Halibut in particular seem to be very keyed onto the swing of the tide and almost every one I've caught has come on the swing of the high. But there are always exceptions, and bait, pressure changes, water quality, etc can trump tide on a given day.
