    Report: Been spending time on Pedro lately,trying to wire it in or the ABA TOC last sat. I'd say it's been real tough, with an occasional ish here & there. Got a real good draw (8th out) ran unempeded rom Fleming to the back o the river. Last week I had our ish or about 8 lbs. and elt good about my chances. Nothing happened or two hours, nor did I see anyone catch a ish. The Lee brothers started accross rom me so I elt coortable being in the area. Finally about 10;30 I caught a dink, next cast caught a 13 1/2 keeper, splitshotting a small lizard. Caught another short ish 30 minutes later, and that's all she wrote or us or the day. Ran into the Lee's down river, who were camped out on a slide area, said they had 4 ish. They appeared to be ishing pastics deep. Saw a team boat a 3lb, thowing a jig, bro/green. 129 teams, only 69 teams weighed in at least one ish. The word is the tournament winner had 18+ lbs, while ishing behind another boat in Moccassin, catching suspended ish, somehow, I don't know?
