Q6 Cardinal
Aug 29

Overview

Cardinal is once again part of BFT’s seasonal event rotation for 2026.  This is the last event of the season before the Championship and to ramp up the pressure it will be a RIVER ONLY Tourney!!

Cardinal Q6 will determine both the 40 boat field for the “2026 BFT Tour Championship ” as well as the “2026 BFT Team of the Year ” (TOY).  It’s sure to be an intense atmosphere until the final bag is weighed!!

Should any of Q1-Q6 need to be rescheduled, it will happen on Sunday, August 30th in Cardinal.

The same parameters that appear here for Q6 will be applied for the rain date.

Tournament Details

Location Legion Park, Cardinal ON -- River ONLY qualifier Date August 29, 2026 End date August 29, 2026

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 wider sections to east or west, or test the river proper.

St. Lawrence River

Tournament headquarters will be open at 5:15 am for each event.
