Hello from Lake Jennings! We are taking out the trout report because the catch has been almost zero. The cat bite picked up Friday, but it did not last. 1 to 2lb. fish in the coves though there was a report of a limit of cats being caught in 50 ft. of water. Bass continue to be problematic. One morning the bass are chasing shad all over the surface, and then they disappear for several days.

Best Catfish Spots: Bird trees, Hermit Cove, and any of the coves in the brush. Use 20 lb test and horse them out of the cover.
Best Catfish Bait: Night crawlers and mackerel. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots: Dropshotting Sentry and Eagle Points in 25 to 30 ft. Topwater at the bank.
Best Bass Lures/Bait: Dropshotting 4" worms. Frogs and Pop-R's.

Notables: No fish over 3 lbs. reported.

Prognosis: Remember that we do not open until 5 PM on Friday. Another 1,000 lbs of Rock and Fish Ranch channel cats will be stocked Friday. It is hard not to like the cool weather but there is a reason why they call them "warm-water fish."

Water Temperature: 70 to 71 degrees on surface.

Current Schedule: We'll be open this Friday from 5:00 p.m. ??? Midnight, Saturday from 5:30 a.m. ??? Midnight, and Sunday from 5:30 a.m. ??? 8:30 p.m.

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 cat fishing. Most importantly, the classes are FREE! Ranger Hugh will be the professor.

Hello from Your Lake Jennings: Fishing is best described as fair for all species. The spots have not changed or the methods. The fishing float has been averaging 1 trout limit per day. It is the only spot on the lake to produce trout at all. The numbers are down and no one has really figured it out. We could blame it on the moon but then our night fishing should be wide open. We could blame it...... Read More
