Mattern Guide Service on Sam Rayburn & Lake Palestine

Hello Everybody,

PSALM 37; Verses 1-3; Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of inquity. For they shall soon be cut down like grass,and wither as the green herb.

Trust in the Lord, and do good, so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.


SAM RAYBURN; Water temps have been holding steady at 58-60,s, depending where you are and the time of day. Bass are spawning right now on beds in some areas and also staging Females are cruising near spawning grounds.

Bass have come in this week up to 8-9 lbs. An average of 20-30 Bass a day is common on my Guide trips. I have been using rattle traps in reds and oranges still near grass and sandy banks and catching Bass up to 8 1/2 lbs. Texas rigged crawworms in Black Neon and Junebug, and Watermelons, I like Nichols craws and Paca Craws), have caught some quality Bass also.

Wacky rigged worms in greenpumpkins and watermelons are starting to work well also. Jigs always catch Big Bass, and Black & Blue, Junebug, Watermelon is still producing. Plastic Lizards rigged Weightless on a 5/0 ewg hook, Texas rigged and light carolina rigged are working also. I find good colors are reddish like red shad or junebugs or watermelons and green pumpkins work well for the next couple months. Water is slight stained to stained up in the creeks but over all good shape. Great fishing and give us a call for a great day in God's Creation catching those green fish.
