The final event of the 2021 MLF Pro Circuit was on the St. Lawrence River from July 29- Aug 1st. I had strong tournament finishing in 19th place with weights of 15.25, 19.75 and 18lbs over the course of the 3 days. In this event I was targeting shallow largemouth on docks with a Z-Man Goat on a Hayabusa 4/0 FPP Straight Shank hook and 1/2oz Angler tungsten weight. These fish were in 6' and less of water using the docks as shade and an ambush point. I then was fishing rocky flats with a dropshotted Z-Man Trick Shotz that was threaded on a 2/0 Hayabusa FPP Straight hook and 3/8oz Angler Tungsten weight. These fish were all in their summer mode. I had some shallower fish 10' and less and some deeper fishing in 20-35'. Video recaps and fish catches can be seen on my YouTube Channel Grae Buck Fishing- Day 2 St. Lawrence River Almost 20lbs! https://youtu.be/pK4YPbgECq0
