Thanks @fromthelogo !

We have all seen it, felt it, sensed it. You turn quickly but you don't quite see it, but you know its there and getting closer. You can feel its fetid breath on the back of your neck as you make your next cast. It's stench permeates first the air around, then seems to seep into your very soul...

I hit the Columbia on Sunday the 16th in search of smallmouth. I had not been out on the big C in two months so I was starting with no idea whether the fish were going to still be deep, up shallow or in between. I got to the ramp around sunrise and was on the water fishing by about 8am. I was...

Stone cold :)

I am not from that side but I know that they stock Mt Hood CC pond in Gresham with trout. If you are up for a drive St Louis ponds down along I5 get stocked quite a bit and I have seen recent videos of fishing catching trout there. You can check here for stocking reports...

What part of Oregon? I don't know of piers but the jetties around the bay mouths might suit your Ned. Salmon when they are running and rockfish, greening, Ling cod and surf perch at other times.

I hit the Columbia on Saturday the 16th with some trepidation. The wind forecast was once again calling for light winds but after getting brutalized last week I was a little gun shy to say the least. I woke up on Saturday after not sleeping great and at first I rolled over and thought about just...

Great job!

I hit the Columbia on Sunday the 10th. I was excited because my previous trip had been pretty great and the wind was forecast to be calm. After I got home I checked the definition of calm in the dictionary because whitecaps and waves do not fit the description I am used to :) Needless to say...
