Río San Pedro

Flowing through Tabasco, Mexico, Río San Pedro is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Río San Pedro hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Río San Pedro can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

Fishing Techniques

• For Common snook

  When fishing around docks, skip your lure as far under as possible to reach snook hiding in the shade, as they are ambush predators.

• For Redbreast tilapia

  Redbreast tilapia are often found near vegetation, so target those areas and use slow retrieves to entice strikes.

• For Northern red snapper

  When fishing for Northern red snapper, use heavy tackle and braided line to handle their strong runs and the structure they inhabit; also consider chumming to attract them to your area.
