Mattern Guide Service on Sam Rayburn
Hello Everybody,
PSALM 80: Verse 3; Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Well The Big Bass are in, after water temps are 58 degrees or higher. Some of the Bigger Bass in the double digits were in 3-6 feet. Colder air temps. brought the Lake water Temps. to 49-50 degrees and alot of those Big Bass moved into the thicker edges of Hydrilla and into deeper water haunts such as creek channels and off point cover.
Water temps are warming back up again right now till the next freeze. Now is one of the best times and February to catch that Biggest Bass.
Most 2-6 lbers with some Bigger Bass along with them are hitting lipless crankbaits. Reds and oranges as well as golds are some exceptional colors right now.
As far as plastics creature baits such as Nichols creatures or Phantom Tackles Stink Hog and Zoom brush hogs have been working well on Bigger Bass. Good colors are watermelons with blue or purple mixed in with the watermelons. Rigging them Texas rigged.
20 Bass a day are the average but if your after Bigger Bass the Darker colored Jigs are producing some real monsters. I like the Nichols Jig, It has a great hook that really holds on to those bigger fish.
One 12 lber. that came to the boat on 12-19 -07 proved that those Bigger Bass love those crawfish in which a Jig with a craw trailer represents so well. Sometime those Big Bass do not feel like chasing a lipless crankbait and will take a Jig moved slowly in their territory.
