  • Stocking: The lake was stocked with 1,700 pounds of trout last week. A total of 20,000 pounds of trout was stocked this season! The catfish stocking schedule has been released. You can view the schedule HERE.
  • What's the catch?  Lots of bluegill and sunfish from the t-dock and Hermit Cove this weekend. The panfish were biting on wax worms. The catfish were biting from the campground shoreline on cut mackerel. From shore, you'll want to cast out to the channel just off Sentry Point. There were reports of trout biting in Siesta Cove and the southeastern shoreline of the lake. Look for shade and lots of structure. The bite is better first thing in the morning and then drops off around 9-10am. Sounds like they were biting on all the usual lures and bait. No reports of where the bass were biting, but we saw the pictures from this weekend! Don't forget to send us pics of your catch! You can tag us @lakejennings on social media or email them to ranger@lakejennings.org.
  • Conditions: The aerator has been turned on for the season, so the water column will be more mixed and a consistent temperature. The surface temperature around the boat dock is 68 degrees. The sun is rising around 6:05 a.m. and setting around 7:25 p.m. For a complete weather report in Lakeside, click HERE.
  • Fireside by the Lake: Lakefront firepits are available again on Saturday, May 7th, 6 pm to 9pm. Rentals are $72 and include lake entrance for up to 6 people. Fishing permits sold separately. Wood, Adirondack chairs, and fire starter are provided. Advance reservations are required. Reserve your firepit HERE.
  • New Moon Fishing: The lake will be open for New Moon Fishing on Saturday, May 7th 6 am to 10pm. New Moon Fishing is not just for fishermen! Take a sunset hike, BBQ in one of our many picnic areas located around the lake, fish for one of our resident monster catfish, or enjoy a starlit boat ride. We hope you can join us!
  • WE'RE HIRING!! We are hiring part-time Dockhands ($15/hour) to work on the boat dock. Dockhands help maintain our boat rental fleet, provide excellent customer service, and other duties as assigned. We are also hiring a part-time Assistant Recreation Ranger ($16/hour) to work in the bait shop and help maintain the cleanliness/security of the property and facilities. Both positions work weekends and most holidays. Where else can you enjoy the sunrise and sunset, talk fishing, and watch the Bald Eagles play?

  • Campground: Some mothers like flowers, some like a massage, but moms who like camping are the best! Mother's Day is Sunday, May 8th. It's not too late book a campsite for the weekend. Book your campsite TODAY.
