Tip's for fishing on the St. Lawrence's River

Make sure your clutch is set properly, powerful fish can take line straight away when you tighten up to a take, even at long distance. Use sharp, strong hooks and check points for any damage regularly. Make sure your pod is in tight and your baitrunner is set as it can get pulled in easy on a St. Lawrence carp!
