Hello from Your Lake Jennings: The dropping lake still has the bass on the bank. It is an early bite and is over by 9:30. Creature baits and 11" worms drug off of the bank into the water. It should be fished painfully slow. Cats are still biting if you have a boat and are fishing 50 to 100 ft. deep. Chicken livers have been added to the list of successful baits.

Best Cat Spots: The dam buoyline and Hermit Cove buoyline.
Best Cat Bait: Chicken livers, mackeral and night crawlers. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots: Target the bank, fish downhill with creature type baits.
Best Bass Lures /bait: . Ika's, big worms, and Senkos

Water Temp. 76 degrees on surface.

Notables: Thursday Charlie Woolsey, Oceanside, 8-9 bass, garlic flavored nightcrawler, Sentry Point. Sat., Mike Harris, San Diego, 8-13 bass, Senko, Hermit Cove.

Prognosis: We are nearing our target water temp for the trout. Our first trout plant should be on schedule for the week of October 19th. The lake will start dropping even faster which will further displace small fish and crawdads. So concentrate on the bank. We are bringing back our twilight boat rentals. Motorboats are $ 20.00 for the last 3 hours that we are open. So you can get a boat at 4 PM for $ 20.00. We are only 2 weeks away from the start of our trout season. Mt Lassen has developed a new strain of rainbow trout that they are calling the "Sierra Bow". Testing indicates they fight harder, bite better and taste better because they are red fleshed. http://www.mtlassentrout.com/sierrabow.html

The Lake Jennings Free Fishing University will be teaching cat fishing......
