Mattern Guide Service on Sam Rayburn & Palestine & Richland Chambers

Hello Everybody,

MARK 8: VERSE 35; For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the Gospel's, the same shall save it.

Well I have been gone almost a month to Uraguay preaching the Gospel of Jesus. What great fishing for Jesus. Many recieved Jesus and Hundreds recieved the Baptizm of the Holy Spirit.

SAM RAYBURN ; 2 ways to go deep or to the Grass both will produce. Bass were brought in this week up to 10 lbs. The bigger Bass were caught on Carolina rigs worked in 20 - 30 feet. Old road beds, Humps, Points, and Channel swings. Good baits are Baby Brush hogs in watermelons and also yum dinger type baits in the same as well as flukes and grubs.

Wacky rigs along the edges of grass beds outside and inside edges have produced this week. Good colors were the wildberries color from Phantom Tackle in their version of the stick worm called the Stinko.

Also Frogs like the Ribbit continue to produce in thick vegetation, Good colors have been Green Pumpkin Back with Pearl Belly and the color called Blue Shad.

Water temps have been in the high 80's and low 90's.

LAKE PALESTINE: Has been smoking with a 9.0 lber. being caught by one of my clients about 1:00 PM. The Bass were busting Frogs in the thick stuff all day and they were the Bigger Bass. Flukes also worked in Watermelons and the wacky produced also in the Phantom Wildberries stinko. Over 30 Bass came in today with about 10 over 3 lbs. including the Giant of Nine pounds.

Good to be back in America catching those Green Fish again. Thank You Jesus for America.
