Smallmouth Bass Camp Trip: Epic Fishing Adventure!

This isn’t just a fishing trip—it’s a mission. We set up camp deep along the Columbia River’s sandy banks, chasing smallmouth bass and walleye through current seams and backwater eddies. The goal: find them, fight them, and cook them!

From crackling driftwood to sizzling nuggets this is a full-on river hunt—raw, real, Awesome.

🎯 CATCH. CLEAN. COOK. UNDER OPEN SKY.
