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. The centerpin reel is the centerpiece of this fishing method. Unlike traditional spinning reels, which have a fixed spool, centerpin reels have a large, free-spinning spool that rotates freely on the reel’s axis.

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.

September can be a good month too, for late returning fish.

If you’re fishing adventure is to be from shore or an anchored boat, one method that works is to plunk (also known as still-fishing or dead-sticking) PowerBait. More popular than worms, PowerBait is a prepared bait formula that comes in jars and has the consistency of cookie dough.

For those that live in the northern half of the Unites States and well up into Canada, bass fishing in cold water is a necessity if one wants to extend the season as long as possible. For those that are beyond obsessed with bass fishing like me, it’s not just a necessity, it’s a way of life.
