Mattern Guide Service on Lake Fairfield

Hello Everybody,

Jesus said I am the Way, the Truth and the Life: No man comes to the Father but by me.

Well as you know the last few cold fronts dropped water temps. So I am on Lake Fairfield today. If you have never fished Lake Fairfield, it is a Power Plant Lake and has a good population of Largemouth Bass and and also been stocked and restocked for years with Redfish. Yes you heard it right.

Redfish in a freshwater Lake.. The Reds in Lake Fairfield have been caught over 40 lbs. but usually on Bass tackle and the same baits I use for Bass are catching reds up to about 4 lbs. as it gets colder the bite gets up to about 10-15 lbs.

Water temps were at 72 at daylight on most the Lake and up to around 78 durring Mid-day hours.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is only one ramp open because of the low water and it is real iffy. I have a single axle and have to go back just enough to get the boat off and on without dropping off the end of the ramp.

I was there today and made it in and out but doubt if tandem axle rig could make it out. The water came up about a foot after the heavy rains but still could use a couple feet for safe boat ramp.

Bass were good up to about 4 lbs. as were the reds. Both were biting Carolina rigged Nichols Creature baits in Watermelon red. Off points and sand bars that were near deeper water. From 4-8 feet. Nichols Chatterboxs in Blue Shad caught Bass up to around 3 lbs. fished off Main Lake points in the morning bite.

Wacky rigged Nichols salty mothers sinkers in Green pepper which is a senko type bait caught good up along reeds in 2-3 feet. Crankbaits 6-8 feet divers worked along breaks or drop offs in 6 - 10 feet caught real good Fish up to 4 lbs. as well as the carolina rig did. Colors best were black back and chartruse body.

Caught about 35 Bass and 6 reds today from daylight till 3:00 pm.

Nichols baits is one of the fastest and hottest bait companies on the tournament trail today. To get you an order or catalog just call Mr. Nichols at 903-589-8191.
