Hello from Lake Jennings! The trout bite continues to be better than expected thanks to a cool off. The problem is that it is almost a "boats only" bite. Trolling firetiger Rapalas and silver Kastmasters or drift fishing crawlers are the only productive methods. The bass are all over the lake, though the biters tend to be in 25 ft. of water eating drop-shot plastics. A few fish are being caught on Bass Assassins on the bank and an equally few are biting swim baits.

Best Trout Spots: The boat dock, fishing float and buoy line triangle.
Best Trout Lures/Bait: Silver Kastmasters and firetiger Rapalas for trolling and nightcrawlers drifted
about 25 to 30 feet down.
Best Catfish Spots: First choice is the bird trees and then anywhere there is brush in the water.
Best Catfish Bait: Nightcrawlers are really working well or mackerel.
Best Bass Spots: On the bank in 5 ft. of water in brush and under trees.
Best Bass Lures/Bait: Bass Assassins, drop-shotting 4" worms. Swim baits.
Notables: No fish over 3 lbs reported or limits in 30 minutes.
Prognosis: The bite for trout will continue for another month. Cats and red ears are being caught on the
bank. Think "post spawn" for bass.
Water Temperature: 65-68 degrees.
