Columbia River Smallmouth on Zoom Super Flukes
Columbia River Smallmouth on Flukes! When the hunt for big largemouth bass started falling apart, the Columbia River smallmouth came to the rescue.
Fishing smallmouth bass on flukes with soft-plastic jerkbaits from 6th Sense and Zoom, we found the action we needed to turn the day around.
Sometimes the goal changes in a hurry—and knowing when to make the right decision can save your entire fishing day.
We started the day hunting for quality largemouth bass, but when that plan wasn’t working, it was time to adapt. The smallmouth bass provided constant action and reminded me that quality over quantity isn’t always the answer.
From chasing big largemouth to catching Columbia River smallmouth on flukes, this trip is all about adapting, making smart decisions, and taking advantage of what the river gives you.
The goal changed. The smallmouth saved the day!
