Just what exactly does a fishing team do?

Here at Batavia High School a fishing team competes against other schools to catch the 5 largest bass. 

In order to get the students ready for competition we:

• practice casting accurately

• learn about bass behavior, seasonal migrations, diet, forage, habitat just to name a few.

• learn to compete with a partner

• learn to tie fishing knots

• learn to operate the trolling motor

• learn about the latest equipment like fishing rods, fishing reels, fishing line types, fishing lures, etc...

• learn to appreciate and respect nature
