Hello from Your Lake Jennings: If this report is familiar it is because it is almost exactly the same as last week... It is scratchy at best for all species. Cats are being found shallow but are also being found at the buoyline.. The majority of trout are suspended but some are being caught in the backs of the coves. The best strategy is drifting a crawler in the middle of the lake down about 35 ft. Bass, mostly males, are along the bank. The bigger girls have moved out to 15' to 25'.

Best Trout Spots: Middle of the lake and the concrete steps.
Best Trout Lures/Bait: Salmon Peach Power Bait.
Best Cat Spots: The bird trees.
Best Cat Bait: Mackerel or nightcrawlers. Use scent liberally
Best Bass Spots: 25 ft on all the points.
Best Bass Lures/bait: shiners and d/s 4" morning dawn worms.

Water Temp. 67 degrees on surface.
Notables: No fish over 3 lbs. or limits under 1 hour....
Prognosis: Same as last week. The bass are done with the fish in postspawn. The trout inventory remains high. Boaters are outfishing bankies because the trout are suspended in the middle of the lake. Our first catfish plant will be mid-May but you don't have to wait because there is a large carryover form last year.

The Lake Jennings Free Fishing University will be teaching catfishing ...... 1 PM Sunday
