Hello from Your Lake Jennings: The bass are so tight to the bank at night that if your cast is 2 ft. from shore you don't get bit. If you drag your lure off the bank you get bit. Daytime has the bass suspended in deeper water to 40 ft. The cats turned difficult. Probably 900 lbs out of the original 1000 still prowl the lake. Shallow is best for the kitties. Redears are on the beds but a boat is needed to locate and target them.

Best cat spots: Cloister and Siesta Coves and the cormorant trees.

Best cat bait: Bring mackerel and night crawlers. Fish shallow near vegetation.

Best Bass Spots: Dusk on the bank, daytime bass are stacked up in 40 ft. of water on the points.

Best Bass Lures /bait: Ika's and dropshotting 4" wacky Senkos.

Water Temp: 73 degrees

Notables: No fish over 3 lbs or limits under 1 hour reported.

Prognosis: We will not be planting cats this week. While we don't want to rush the summer heat, the bite won't pick up until it heats up!!!! The frog bite for the bass isn't yet but will be soon if the forecasted daytime highs of low 90's holds true.

Lake Jennings Free Fishing University will talk about fishing catfish. 1PM Sunday.
