Overview

Cardinal is once again part of BFT’s seasonal event rotation for 2024.  Cardinal Q5 will determine both the 40 boat field for the “2024 BFT Classic ” as well as the “2024 BFT Team of the Year ” (TOY).  It’s sure to be a pressure cooker until the final bag is weighed!!

Location Cardinal - cut off at Wolfe Island Date August 23, 2025

Lake Details

The St. Lawrence River is famous for smallmouth and largemouth bass.  Flowing for 700 miles from Lake Ontario to the Atlantic Ocean, the St. Lawrence River is truly one of Nature’s wonders.   Given Cardinal’s location as a midway point in the lengthy, narrow section of the river, teams will face a challenge – run hard to big water or test the river proper.
