I was out checking some new fishing spots near my new home in s.e. portland. And I saw some bass landed Thursday. I will be out today giving it a shot! The river is a little off colored so bright colors are good NOW.
Drop shot is king this time of year!

I really can't wait. I neglected bass last year in pursuit of salmon and steelhead. Though the salmon and steelhead fight hard and all, there just isn't a comparison to a smallmouth nailing a #9 Floating Rapala or a big largemouth inhaling your spinnerbait.
I also reallly miss fishing for panfish. I think I'll be taking the niece out this year. She wants to go.

Welcome to SE Portland, there are a few ifishers here in this part of town!!! Thanks for the report can't wait to hear if you got into any yesterday. Was out working on my boat Sunday thinking the smallies must be getting hungry with the sun coming out like it did. Can't wait to try some new ideas I have learned on this site.
