Hi guys I just got back from Lake Mateos Bass Lodge. The fishing this week has been different. The bass are hitting on all types of lures, but they must be worked slow. Green Sinco worms seem to be working best, but Spinner baits, Buzz baits and Rattle Traps are good producers if worked slow. The highest number caught by one boat this week was 180 Bass. Many boats caught 80 bass per day. The Largest fish was 9 pounds with many six pound bass being caught as well. I really do not know what my best day was I lost count 3 times. But I do remember catching several six pound bass. I am planning to go back again this season if you would like to go at the same time give me a call my dates are still open. J.C.
January 23 – 26 Fishing is up at Lake Mateos Bass lodge with catches running 100 bass per boat. With 10 pound bass being caught and larger ones being quick released. The water level is at 85% and the water tempperature is now 70. Water color is clear to light green. Rattle traps are producing both bass and catfish at 4 to 10 feet. Spinner baits and green worms continue to produce. The weather is clear and the wind is dead calm. We have a great group of guys at the lodge this week and they are chowing down on good food after a great day of fishing.
Bass fishing has picked up this week with catches of up to 120 bass per day, per boat. The largest bass caught was 8 pounds with many 6 to 7 pound bass caught as well. Top water action is good with spinner baits doing well. Also, green worms producing. The lake is 95% full and the water temp is 77. Several weeks are already booked full so book now or you may get left out.
Lake Mateos is still holding at 95% full. However, the water Temp is now 70-72 and the fish are starting to hit much faster with catches now running 60 Bass per day. No 10 pounders this week but several in the 7 pound class. Top water action continues to increase and spinner baits are doing well. Conditions are looking good for the rest of the month. Air fair is down from several months ago so come on down and get out of the snow.
The lake is still at 95% full but the temp. of the water is now down to 75 and the fish are starting to turn on with catches now running 30 to 40 per boat each day. will have another report next week. J.C.

The month of Oct. started off with big fish being caught.But, after the 10th. things got tough, the bite slowed down. Then about the 13th. of November the tide began to turn and the fish decided to start up. Catches are now running 30 to 40 per day per person with good top water action. Largest fish landed this week was 9 pounds 2 oz. Benny says the large fish are comming to the top and feeding. The lake level is 95 % and the water Temp is finally dropping some more, now down to 80.3. The water clarity is over 5 foot and the day time Temp is mow 89 degrees. The fish are hitting 6 t0 8 inch watermellion Lizards and June bug. Buzz baits and other top water lures. As the lake temp falls below 80 the fish bite will get stronger. Also, as the lake slowly drops the fish will stop moving arround as much and be easier to catch. We are looking for a great seasion this year as the lake is in great condition with clean water and lot’s of food. Make your reservations now our you will miss out on this years fun. J.C.
