Mattern Guide Service Hello everybody,
Exodus 14:14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
Well Bass fishing has picked up some this week with Bass being caught up to 5-6 lbs. along with some solid good Bass in the 3 lb. range. Bass are holding tight nearer to deeper channels and deeper break lines away from the banks.
Topwaters have been working but not like in the early part of June. Shad type topwaters and weighted hooks with speed worms by zoom rigged Texas rigged on them in Junebugs and blues or grapes with metalflake in them have been working well. Wacky rigged worms on wieghted hooks fished along creek channels have been getting some quality Bass.
Boathouses are holding Bass and hitting texas rigged sweet Beavers and babybrush hogs in different watermelon colors. Black and blue with junebug trailer jigs will work right now around boatdocks and are producing some fish over 3 lbs. but you have to cover alot of boathouse to find them.
You know I have alot of custom rods made for me by Jeff Friend with Friendly Custom rods. But this last one helped me place 2nd in a tournament on Cedar Creek Lake this last Saturday with 17.62 lbs. Jeff made me a 7' 6 Shakari Blank and customed it out with a hand grip that does not have the threads underneath that hurt your fingers at the end of the day. My 2nd place win would have not happened if it were not for that rod. I never plug many sponsors or companies but I was made a believer on this rod.
If you are interested in having Jeff make a custom Rod to your specifications give him a call at 903- 584-3594
Guided bookings can be made with me at 903-478-2633 or 903-724-1203
Thanks and God Bless you.
