Hello from Lake Jennings! Bass anglers often talk about find a "pattern" that will catch fish at that particular time. For us there is a cat pattern. Hermit Cove on the north shore on Friday night. Saturday night get a boat and move, move, move until you locate the cats. It is almost exclusively worms for bait. The few bass being caught are on plastics in 25m to 35 ft. of water. You can see 'em cruising the bank but dragging something off the bank has been a waste of time. Some nice red ears have been eating meal worms and wax worms in 15 ft. of water but no limits. Overall we would say that fishing is just fair.

Best Catfish Spots: Hermit Cove and Hermit Cove.
Best Catfish Bait: Night crawlers. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots: Eagle Point and Half Moon Cove in 25 to 30 ft.
Best Bass Lures/Bait: Drop-shotting 10" worms.

Notables: No fish over 3 lbs. reported.

Prognosis: Remember that we do not open until 5 PM on Friday. Rock and Fish Ranch will bring another 1,000 lbs. of their table sized cats for your catching and dining pleasure. The promised hot weather did not kick our warm water fish into high gear last week. Hopefully this will be the week. Also fishing at night is a great way to escape a hot house.

Water Temperature: 77 to 79 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 Lake Jennings! Most of the cat action was in Hermit Cove on Friday night and then moved to the Floating Boathouse Saturday night.

Overall we would say that fishing is just fair. Best Catfish Spots: Hermit Cove and floating boathouse. Best Catfish Bait: Night crawlers. Use scent...... Read More
