Columbia River Smallmouth | The Fall Bite Is ON!
Columbia River Smallmouth | The Fall Bite Is ON!
The fall smallmouth bass bite is ON on the Columbia River! In this video, I’m launching out of Columbia Point Marina in Richland, Washington, and targeting smallmouth bass that are noticeably larger than normal for this time of year.
The fish are aggressive, healthy, and putting up an awesome fight! I’m catching these Columbia River smallmouth using a proven techniques: wacky-rigged 4″ Senkos on a drop shot rig. 18″ between hook and weight.
If you enjoy smallmouth bass fishing, Columbia River fishing, Washington bass fishing, fall fishing, Senko fishing, or drop shot fishing, this one is for you!

The Columbia River can produce some incredible smallmouth, and the fall transition is one of my favorite times to get out there. These fish are feeding up and the size of the bass we’re finding makes for an exciting day on the water!
