Got the fishfinder installed in the kayak and repaired all the scratches, so it’s good to go, but it’s been windy and it looks like it’s going to stay that way for awhile so no opportunity to check out the new finder. It’s been windy, but even more important, is that it has been hot! … Read more
It’s been too windy for kayak fishing and the kayak is being repaired anyway, so time to hit the local trails on the mountain bike. The “name brand” trails are getting ridiculously crowded on nice summer weekends so we headed out to some of the local trails that are off the grid. These trails don’t … Read more
The old Eagle fishfinder in the kayak is finally going to be replaced with an newer model. I started to get bad water temperature readings; -4°F and the sonar was way off, so I knew something was wrong.

We got a little break in what has been a windy week so we headed out on the Columbia River to look for those smallmouth bass that have been a little hard to find this year. We caught a lot of small to medium sized bass up at the John Day River last weekend, but … Read more

It’s been a slow start to the 2015 smallmouth bass season for sure. After a few kayak fishing trips, we finally managed to get a couple nice smallmouth bass in the boat. The secret was to target another species of fish, then we were able to get some smallies. The last time out, we caught … Read more
We managed to get a relatively calm day in what has been a somewhat windy spring, not that unusual in one of the windiest spots in North America, so we headed out on the Columbia River looking for those big springtime smallmouth bass. The fishing for smallmouth bass has been very slow this spring and … Read more
I’m on the road taking care of some personal business so the blog entries are coming kind of slow. I should be back on the water shortly and hoping to be catching some of those big early season smallmouth bass.
