Hello from Your Lake Jennings: There was a hot, hot catfish bite on Friday. Saturday it was less hot and Sunday it was lukewarm. The bass moved off the bank again and they refuse to bite topwater. Texas rigged 12" worms fished in 20 to 30 ft. of water were the best producers. There were even a few trout caught by mackerel soakers.

Best cat spots: Hermit, 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: 12" Texas rigged black worms. Flylined nightcrawlers.

Water Temp: 75 degrees

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

Prognosis: We will be planting 1000 lbs. cats this week. This should sweeten the night bite. We have hired a fortune teller to tell us when the bass bite will improve. She says that she will consult with the spirits and get back to us. ( I think we just wasted $ 5.00)

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