Best for July - September
Smallmouth Bass
Conventional Artificial Bait
Posted 9 months ago
The Columbia River is a premier smallmouth fishery on the west coast. I fished the BAM Pro Tour out of Boardman, Oregon and had 35 scoreable smallmouths on my first day with 16 1/2 lbs and 20+ smallies on second day for 18lbs. Caught 16.35lbs on day three for a 6th place finish! My tip is a Columbia River fishing report plus a strategic game plan on how you can get on this bite too with three techniques, two patterns, and nice spots that I have dialed in! This strategies in this tip are generally in play between mid-July and mid-September or whenever the water temperatures start really cooling down.

FishTips is a fishing information platform built to maximize the success of your fishing trips! Connect directly with dialed-in digital fishing guides for hyper-current digital guiding, training, & fishing reports!
FishTips began with fishing guides and top tournament anglers posting tips that were detailed game plans on exactly how they would guide someone. Guides take anglers to fishing spots on every trip, so creating a digital version of a guide trip on FishTips was a natural way for guides to guide, train, and educate even more anglers online. Perhaps their boat broke down, had a bad weather day, or it was the offseason, the FishTips platform attracted hundreds of digital fishing guides that wanted to provide their same high level of customer experience and deep knowledge of their fisheries in a digital format to help even more anglers! As we grew, we received feedback from both digital guides and customers for other types of informative fishing products to help anglers stay up to date on their fisheries or learn new places to fish. We are excited to now offer premium subscription channels for the latest fishing updates and hyper-current fishing reports. FishTips also has training videos for digital guides to share in-depth videos on exactly how they approach a fishery or how they break it down before they even get there.
