Up River Brights are in the Columbia and are wacking the wobblers. Put an 18# and 16# in the cooler today from 2:15 until 5:00 PM along Frenchman's Bar. Fishing is Great all along the River. Take a Clancey, Alvin, Brads or similar and watch others and make adjustments to the lure. Colored tape and treble hooks are considerations. Watch for a slot where boats are making hook-ups. 50 ft. depth has been good for me and 4 to 8 oz. of lead depending on current. 5 ft leader and lead line. I use a squirt of scent. Salmon Feast, Herring, Shrimp, Sardine or WDS oil. It works for me and I have to experiment to find what the fish like. Keep your presentation (lead weight) just off the bottom. If you don't watch this - you will be fishing and not catching. I don't fish the weekends due to all of the folks that have limited work hour flexibility and can't get into the weekday tides and flows etc. You need to fish the outflow unless you want to troll. The bite this week has been from 1:00 until 5:00 for me.

Fishing and catching is habit forming. Anyone else that CAN add to this catching info thread -- please do it.

The Fish are here. Go get em! There are more than enough for all anglers to get their WOBBLERS WACKED........ :wink:
