Mattern Guide Service on Sam Rayburn & Palestine

Hello Everybody,

ACTS 3: Verses 6&7: Then Peter said, Silver and Gold have I none but such as I have I give unto thee. In the name of JESUS Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And He took him by the right hand, and lifted him up; and immediately his feet and ankle bones recieved strength.

SAM RAYBURN; Well the weather has the Bass doing one thing on one day and another on the next. The water temps have been running from the 70's to the 80;'s depending on the heat of one day to the chill of the next. The cloudy days have brought a tremendous topwater bite around the shallow grass on yellow magics and poppers. The Buzzbait produced the Biggest Bass in the last Bass n Bucks Championship. The Sun gets hot and the topwater is off except in early morning hours. The Black and Blue Nichols 1/2 ounce Jig tipped with a Gene Larew craw has been catching good with clients worked along the edges of 6-10 foot Hydrilla. The Carolina rig has been working well also with a watermelon seed Zoom Big critter craw worked along Points and Grass in 6-12 feet.



LAKE PALESTINE: Water temps have been running in the 70's to 80's depending on the cold fronts and the heat of the next day. The Bigger Bass were scarce this week with alot of smaller bass feeding on the schools of shad moving into the back of the coves. 4 lbs. was the biggest this week but clients enjoyed alot of numbers.Shallow running crankbaits and Texas rigged Zoom baby brush hogs in watermelon red acounted for some quality bass as well as swimbaits. Shad imitations worked best with all the Bass feeding on the schools of shad in the creeks.
