with these warmer temps, I bet the columbia is really picking up on the bite, it's probably warmed a little. I'd still fish below kelly point though or in that area.

GBS,
We'll be in a silver and blue RB sled with a 150 hp Merc on the back. Stop and say hi if you see us.

Scott,
With the smelt in the big river, I would fish the Columbia. You know the areas I am talking about and those should start pumping out big fish....

fishingfirst - I did a combo trip today. Went to T6 about 8am, spent an hour there and only 1 shaker. Moved to the Willamette, just above the first grain elevator and below the ore loading dock. Spent 45 minutes there and brought in a 64in pig that hurt like heck to give back. I'm guessing it weighed over 60lbs. So for you guys that are in the derby (I'm not) there are some gators around. The Columbia was 44 degrees and the Willamette was 50. The other half of my combo trip at Caterpiller was 1 native.
Good luck in the derby.

Lots of shakers yesterday between top of the channel and KP. We're going to try downriver tomorrow.
