    Report: Took my kids to Del Valle to test the water. Found the lake down about 25 eet. South end is totally dry and out o the water. Tried the standard all pattern aound blu walls and points. Graphed lots o bait balls near the marina but nothing on drop shot rig. Tossed reaction baits to no avail. Began catching ish on a T rigged worm. Fish were still deep, about 15 - 25 t. Managed 4 keepers, largest was 2.7 lbs. Total weight about 7 lbs.
    City: San Ramon

    Tips: Fish are still deep. Try drop os 15 to 25 t. near blu walls and secondary points.
