Hello Everybody,

Leviticus 26: Verses 3 & 4

If you walk in my statues, and keep my commandments, and do them. Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

You know we have had a long drought and as a Guide it effected me on some of the Lakes I Guide on and tournament fish. Well even as Elijah prayed for rain after a long drought I have to believe their are alot of fisherman out there that were crying out to God in the name of Jesus Lord please bring the rain. Lake Palestine had been the lowest in about 20 years and that is my Home Lake for Guiding.

Well praise God forevermore according to the Corps of Engineers Lake Palestine is at 346.04 or 1 foot above Full Stage. Sam Rayburn is at 166.67 or 2 foot over Full Stage. Cedar Creek is at 318.99 only 2 foot Low compared to the lowest it has been in years.Richland Chambers is at 307.24 still needing to come up about 8 feet but the run off is still running from the creeks so it is on the rise.

The Lord is good and His Mercy endures forever. Now the upper ends and all the creeks in Palestine will be fisheries again. This will be a great spawn for all these fisheries.

I am staying in and preparing for my next tournament omn Sam Rayburn. I and Jeff Friend of Friendly custom rods just finished a tournament on Sam Rayburn and finshed 6th place with 15.61 lbs. 19 lbs and some extra took the tournament but we were glad to make a payday.

We fished the Fishers of Men tournament trail. And there are alot of Pastors and Believers in Jesus fishing that trail. They had a meeting Friday nite at Jacksonhill Marina with Worship Music and the a Pastor from Jasper spoke the Word to us and lifted up Jesus. It was great.

If you would like to come fish with us just call Rodney Howard at 337-424-2339 for more info.

Well waiting for the brutal cold to pass because it always twice as cold on the water begore I go out again. Be blessed and if you would like to book a trip I will try to work you in just e-mail me at donmat@earthlink.net or call me at 903-478-2633. Don Mattern Sr. with Mattern Guide Service
