Columbia River trip (Washington side)

Managed to squeeze in an hour after work, it was warm, bluebird skies and the usual gusty gorge winds, just because I am obstinate and enjoy frog fishing so much I tossed a frog at the for about 15 minutes and had several missed blowups, it was choppy enough that I figured they were having a hard time finding it, because they'd blow up within a second or two of hitting the water, and miss by a margin of 6-12 inches, not having any other topwaters handy I started tossing a ned rig at them and managed 6 landed fish and 8 hooked fish in the next 45 minutes safe to say these fish are entering a fall feed up with the cooling temperature and boy is it a welcome sight. All of the fish except one were around a pound, pou d and a half tops, the kicker was probably 2.5lb and considering the average size of smallmouth around here I consider it a respectable fish, he was giving my new Mojo Bass MF spinning rod a workout and the Shimano reel performed with the expected excellence...I am very tempted to finish upgrading my reels to Curado DC's but I feel obligated to buy a Tatula Elite to compare to my DC's before pulling the trigger...I am very happy thusfar with these rods/reels, undeniably an upgrade from my Lews American Hero combo's.
