Hello Everybody,
John 8: Verses 30-32; As He spake these words, many believed on Him(JESUS). Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him. If you continue in my Word, then are ye my disciples indeed, And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.
Well this Week-end was great with alot of different patterns working. Friday Rodney Rowe and I went and braved the North end even after that sand bar episode I said I would not go back till the rains come.
Those green fish were calling to me but made it in again and we caught about 30 Bass up to about 2.5 lbs. they were smaller than usual. When I was heading out I met Shannon MCcown comming out and He had caught a monster Bass about 8.7 lbs. on a Chartruse black back crankbait, shallow running. We weighed it for Him and helped take pictures then He released the Giant to fight another day.
Way to go Shannon. Our Bass were all caught on cotton candy wacky worms in about 6-8 feet in a creek channel. I left the North end and Fished Mid-Lake the rest of the day and caught another 25 Bass or so with Mr. Rowe on drop shot rigs fishing green pumpkin worms in about 6-15 feet. That was a real treat. Water temps. were in the low 70,s.
Saturday went out and there were tournament boats everywhere so I put in at the Dam with The Hager's. Fritz and His fine 3 young boys. Those are some fishing boys.
We went out and fished drop shot rigs with watermelon candy worms in about 6-12 feet and caught about 15 bass maybe more up to about 3.5 lbs. The bite was a little off because of the Cold front that came in but still had a great time. Watching Fritz Jr. fight that 3.5 lber. it was his first drop shot Bass and His biggest. Pray for rain for our great fishery here at Lake Palestine.
If you want to book a trip just call us at 903-478-2633 or 903-724-1203. Thanks and God bless. Don Mattern Sr. with Mattern Guide Service.
