    It was a beautiful South Dakota day before a cold front moved in. Our group had three boats and eight people fishing. Some of us were jigging, others “like me,” ...more were using a three way swivel keeping a minnow close to the bottom. It was a great day with my sons, brother and dad. Happy fishing!!!!
