Hello from Lake Jennings! Our Family Day was a huge success! Over 400 kids and 300 adults participated. Every child received a prize. It is time to go out and get some snakes. 16" worms produced a 6-8 and 8-0 largemouths Saturday night. The bite for bass and cats can only be described as fair. The same is true for the redeared sunfish. The trout bite is better than expected if you have a fish finder and a boat. You locate the schools and drop a crawler down in the middle.

Best Trout Spots: Half Moon and Sentry Coves.

Best Trout Lures/Bait: Nightcrawlers drifted about 40 to 80 feet down.

Best Catfish Spots: The bird trees, Half Moon and Hermit Coves and anywhere there is brush in the water.

Best Catfish Bait: Nightcrawlers are really working well or mackerel. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots: At night tight on the bank. Daylight finds them in 20 to 30 ft. off the points chasing shad.

Best Bass Lures/Bait: 16" Texas worms, dropshotting 4" shad colored worms. Swimbaits.

Notables: Sat. Bobby Mathews, 6-8 largemouth, Mike Coronado, 8-0 largemouth, 16" worms, secret spot.

Prognosis: All the fish seem to be scattered. The worst strategy seems to be sitting in one spot. Move when you are not catching fish and move right after you catch fish. Water Temperature: 72-74 degrees.

Current Night Fishing Schedule: We will be open Friday from 5:00 p.m. ??? 11:45 p.m., Saturday from 5:30 a.m. ??? 11:45 p.m. and Sunday from 5:30 a.m. ??? 8:30 p.m.

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

FREE Fishing Classes Open to the Public!

Lake Jennings Fishing University will hold a fishing class this Sunday at 1:00 p.m. The classes concentrate on what is working best. This week's class will talk about fishing cats. Most importantly, the classes are FREE! Ranger Hugh will be the professor.

Lake Jennings Weekly Catch and Release May 27, 2008 Hello from Lake Jennings! The cold weather dampened the enthusiasm of the fish and the anglers that pursued them. Trout are being caught in 30 ft. of water by drifting crawlers or Power Bait out in the middle of the lake. Bassin' is fair with dropshotting small worms working best. The aerator is on and that should drive the shad to the surface. Cats are the main bill of fare. Hermit Cove was...... Read More
