The SDBF High School State Championship went well. My boys won the event throwing jerkbaits on main lake points. The key of the day was to have a solid rotation. There were 3 points holding quality fish, and the schools would get active for 15 - 25 casts and shut off. Each pass the boys would catch one 3 - 4 lbs and go to the next point.
