Started the day fishing the Washington side of the river. The wind was currently non existant. A rarity on the Mighty Columbia River. My quarry the mighty Smallmouth Bass with reaction Baits. For almost two hours fishless. Then it clicked, I caught the first male of 2 1/2 lbs, the next cast came with a female engulfed my CB350 Lucky Craft crankbait, she weighed in excess of 5 lbs. A trophy in anyones book, she was released unharmed. I continued to catch 10 more fish ranging from 2 1/2 lbs to that 5 plus lb Gorilla on one stretch of bank. As quiclky as it started it ended, I moved on trying to match the area I just left with zero takers. I then put down my crankbait rod and pulled out my spinnerbait rod with my favorite 3/4 oz Mini Me SOB Lures spinnerbait. I headed for the Oregon Side of the river hitting all the rip raps and all the points. The fishing was off the hook, pin point casting at all the ambush points, and slow rolling the spinnerbait with eradic pauses at 12 to 15 feet deep in the troughs. I procedded to catch 20 fish ranging from 3 to 4 1/2 lbs never once changing the bait.Oh I retied. If you have never caught a Smallie on a spinnerbait, your missing out, a religious experience. Try the Mini Me from SOB Lures its the finest built spinnerbait on the market, bar none. Fishing on the Columbia River currently is fantastic, even during the spawn. Craig Nordness
