Hey man, welcome to Oregon. I suggest looking at ODFW's 50 places to fish with in 50 miles of Portland for warm water fish. All the above suggestions work. Right now the top water bite is one. Whopper ploppers and spook type baits too. The fish are really going to be chewing now as they need to fatten up before the winter. I go for the ned a lot for the smallies. Dropshot is a great technique here as well. Robo worm with a 12in-15in tag line to weight. Cranking in any craw pattern works well. If you want to get out before it gets too cold and wet let me know and I could get you out on the water in my boat. Places to go for the shore. Head up river on the columbia there are a lot of spots in the gorge you can fish from the shore. Vernonia has a log pond that holds some really big large mouth. For there I usually pitch creature baits in the reeds. Hagg lake can be fished from the shore too. If you want to get out look me up on facebook. @ Ron Faircloth Ill have a picture of my son with a 2lb smallie as my profile picture.Howdy all. My names Matthew, I’m from the east coast, and I’m seeking advice/guidance on how to fish for Sturgeon, Slamon, Trout, and Bass (mainly Bass at the moment)...
