One thing to remember is that the St.Lawrence river has very clear water due to the zebra muscles so light line is a must. Smallmouth bass prefer swift water around rocks and shoals while largemouth bass in the St.Lawrence river tend to stay shallow around weed beds and lily pads. The set up on your fishing pole is important. Use a small to medium hook with a light split shot sinker, 6 to 8 pound line on a medium action pole. If possible use a barbless hook if you intend to fish and release. Smallmouth bass rivers You should not use snap swivels but tie the line to the hook using doubly gut hooks. The sinker should be about three feet up the line from the hook to give the live bait plenty of room to move around along the bottom. Make sure to cast upriver and let the bait sink and bounce along the top of the shoal. When fishing you must cast upriver this is key to let the bait sink to the bottom. The deeper the spot you are fishing might require a heaver split shot sinker. Depending on how the bass are biting its important to keep a good feel of the line if the bass are finicky.
