Conditions: Overcast sky, 15-20mph winds from the south.

Josh Parris and I fished Don Pedro for a Future Pro event. The bite turned out to be incredibly tough for the whole field. We started our day up river looking for deep schools of fish feeding on bait. We found some fish on the graph but they had lock jaw and anything that did bite was just barely a keeper. I threw everything I could think of at them but the only way to get them to bite was dead sticking a dropshot or slow dragging a small tube. The only bites we got came from 40-20 ft of water with absolutely no fish shallow. That was our story everywhere we went, we only managed a 7.43lb limit. Almost every team in the top ten caught their fish deep on a dropshot. I did not hear any word of a shallow bite or a reaction bite. It took just over 13lbs to win. If you are going out be ready for a slow bite and deep fishing. There is also a great event recap on the Future Pro website.

Hope this helps,
