Lake Jennings Weekly Catch and Release


Hello from Lake Jennings! We thought that the hot days would cool the trout bite; surprisingly it didn't. Trolling for trout is good between the boat dock and the fishing float. The Cactus Patch from a boat using Power Bait or Gulp. The bass are in the brush and tules. Drop-shotting worms in the brush are best. Some red ears are spawning but the main run has yet to occur.

Best Trout Spots: The boat dock, fishing float and buoy line triangle.

Best Trout Lures/Bait: Needlefish and Rapalas for trolling and night crawlers 6' under a bobber.

Best Catfish Spots: The floating boathouse and the bird trees.

Best Catfish Bait: Bring mackerel or mackerel.

Best Bass Spots: On the bank in 5 ft. of water in brush and under trees.

Best Bass Lures/Bait: Drop-shotting 4" worms. Swim baits and white jigs.

Notables: No fish over 3 lbs reported or limits in 30 minutes.

Prognosis: The hot bite for trout will continue while inventories remain high. Cats and red ears are being caught on the bank. Buzz baits dragged off the bank produced some nice reaction bites from the bass.

Water Temperature: 65-68 degrees.

Current Schedule: We will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 6:00 a.m. ??? 8:00 p.m.

Coming Soon: Night Fishing season begins Friday, May 16th, three weeks earlier this year!

Offer Extended! Discounted Boat Rental: We have created a twilight special for our motorboats. After 4:00PM motorboats can be rented for $20.00. That gives you over 4 hours of primetime fishing.

Lake Jennings Weekly Catch and Release February 19, 2008 Hello from Lake Jennings! The trout bite has been almost exclusively from a boat using Power Bait on a 4' leader. The only shore spots were the concrete steps in Hermit Cove and walking back into Half Moon. The lake dropped 5 degrees to 55, and that has the bass back out in deeper water, and it also slowed their enthusiasm. The cat spots remain the big buoy line and the...... Read More

Hello from YourLake Jennings:Fishing here has been a reel (sic) head scratcher. The water temp. is a balmy 60 degrees and the male bass can be seen cruising the shoreline but the bite is difficult at best. We also have not had a big swimbait bass so far this year!!! The trout have moved away from shore making boats a better bet. Yet there is only a marginal trolling bite. The cats did not want to bite until late afternoon....... Read More
