Hit LM bass that way on a couple occasions, both in sloughs off the Columbia, both early season, last year was swim baits " even got a couple bonus snagged giant carp" clear out Boardman way in mid march. Year before was between Hood River and the Dalles with the early slow rolled spinner baits black ones and whitew/ chartreuse my two faves prefer the lg colorodo blades on em, they really work well on fish settin up to ambush. Stuck a couple in the 6lb range that trip! that was later in the year more towards mid april.
