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.

The month of October was hotter than average, the water temp was 92 at the first of the month and droped to 84 by October 28th. The lake was at full or nearly full levels for the entire month as it continued to rain in the mountains about every other night. However, in spite of these conditions Our first five guest were able to do a great TV show with all five catching the largest bass they had ever caught.  The largest was 12 pounds 4 Oz. backed up by a 10 and several 9, 8, and 7 pounders. Several other larger fish were also lost. Our second TV show also went well with some good catches, but fishing was tough due to the lake conditions. However, right at the end of October. The water temp started down and the lake started dropping slowlyand fishing improved. Also,our first cold front was coming in, this will cause the fish to start hitting faster and producing large numbers of fish. Also, several improvement projects were started at the camp and will be compleated shortly for your fishing pleasure. See you soon with an early Nov. report. J.C.

I Just got back from Lake Mateos Bass lodge on 4/24/08. The fishing started off slow the first week with catches running 25 to 75 per boat with some running a little more. Size was good with several fish weighing in at 8 pounds. On the 13th my big fish was 10 pounds, along with about 50 others.  I was shooting for a 200 day but 102 was the best I could get (with a 4 hour break). On the 19th-22nd we had 16 fishermen, one lady on the lake with a total of about 2,500 Bass  caught, several in the eight and nine pound range. Now considering we took a three to four hour lunch and siesta break thats not too bad. The weather is great but it is startng to warm up. But we fish till dark.  Spinner baits, rattle traps, poppers and worms are getting the most hits. However, two of our guests were fly fishermen and they had a ball catching large bass on flyrods. The fishing seasion is coming to an end, but we still have some openings so come on down.   The lower the lake gets the more the topwater action increases.  The food and staff are great, and the rooms are cold. The 2 most common comment on the lake is we have the best topwater action most fishermen have ever seen and the lake is beautiful.
