Hello from your Lake Jennings. Slight changes from last week. The only bite this weekend was trolling a nightcrawler and a orange Power worm between the boat dock the fishing float and the buoyline. Drifting a crawler 4 ft. under a red and white bobber in the same area also worked. The best spot was the north side of the Fishing Float and guys throwing a crawler with a water float and letting it sink slowly out fished the trollers.Those that caught trout were all commenting on how strong the fish were. The lake is 59 degrees. Big bass were seen in 15 to 20 ft cruising but could not be persuaded to bite. We also did not have any cats reported. We will be open on Presidents's Day.

Best Trout Spots: Boat dock, fishing float and the buoyline triangle.

Best Trout Lures/Bait: Orange Power Worms with  ? a crawler, slow trolled.

Best Catfish Spots: The buoyline off Eggert Point and Hermit Cove.

Best Catfish Bait: Mackerel and nightcrawlers. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots:Sentry and Eagle points.

Best Bass Lures/bait: Texas rigged creature baits and big Senkos. No swimbait fish.

Water Temp: 59 degrees on surface.

Notables: No limits under 30 minutes or fish over 3 lbs. reported. Prognosis: We will again stock 1000 lbs of Sierra 'Bows on Tuesday. The forecasted storm won't help the prespawn bass bite.
