Centerpin fishing is a specialized method of fishing that involves using a long, thin rod and a large, free-spinning reel to drift bait or lures in rivers or streams.

Pursuing salmon in the ocean off the Columbia River mouth has become an annual experience for me and friends where we chase salmon in advance of their migration into and up the Northwest’s largest river system. Fishing in the ocean out off the Columbia River mouth, and other west coast ports too, can produce easy limits of fat coho and chinook salmon during the summer months with July and August considered peak times. September can be a good month too, for late returning fish.
