The catfishing fireworks this weekend fizzled. For that matter so did all the other fishing. Seemingly the bass, red ears and cats left the lake and were on holiday. We don't think that dynamite would have helped. Some bass anglers are blaming the poor fishing on the earthquakes.

John Visser, grandson Jake Alirez and Lemon Grove catched 10 cats within 3o mins. last Friday and less than an hour last Saturday at Hermit Cove Buoyline. The lake is unseasonally cool. If we get some hot weather to warm up the lake I think that the fishing will act accordingly. Lake Jennings Free Fishing University is conducting catfishing lessons every Sunday at 1 p.m. You can call Hugh Marx at (619) 390-1300 or visit www.lakejennings.org for more info. Lake Jennings Campground now has WiFi at every campsite.
