Need advice! I’m looking to take my first trip to the St. Lawrence River (also first time smallmouth fishing). It will be my wife and I spending a week up there. Any recommendations on the best location for us to take advantage of seeing the area and any guide recommendations for fishing? I’m thinking of an early summer trip. I appreciate any thoughts and advice.

I was hoping to find em today on Hartwell but no dice. I'll be developing a new plan tonight in hopes of a good tournament day. Unless I get a divine premonition while sleeping. The struggle is real!

I couldn't let Ricky Taylor have all the fun. So I had to spruce up the ol' Outlaw too. Added some decals and a Garmin Striker Vivid 7SV.... Gonna take her out tomorrow and get familiarized with everything. All I can say is it's amazing what you can do with a rod sock. I have some other ideas in mind as well, like adding some split corrugated tubing around the anchor wizard rope to help prevent hook snags. Also I'm pretty sure the big fish usa is not going to stay. So I'll be ordering the smaller size to replace it.

Sometimes we underestimate how large of bait bass feed on. You can see this blueback is much larger than my lure. The drawing power of bigger baits is something we all need to study and consider ESPECIALLY IN HIGHLY PRESSURED FISHING AREAS. The curiousity that a large bait brings is a largemouth bass biggest kryptonite. Do you have any experience with throwing big baits?
