Hello from Your Lake Jennings:
It's that time of year once again so come out to Lake Jennings to kick of our NIGHT FISHING season. The lake will open on Friday at 5 PM and close at Midnight. Don't forget to bring your lantern. The lake will be stocked this week with 2000 lbs of catfish and just like in the past the cats start to bite just before we stock. Several were caught this weekend at Cloister Cove under the "Bird Trees". Some trout are still being caught but no limits. Bass are still in 15-20' of water but are moving back to the points but keep in mind that you can do very well night fishing for Bass. Redears have begun to spawn in a lot of the same locations the bass were occupying. Your best bet to catch a nice size Redear is to use a mealworm on a small baitholder hook.

Best Trout Spots:
Siesta Cove and Eagle Point.

Best Trout Bait/Lures:
Nightcrawlers and Power Bait.

Best Cat Spots:
Bird Trees and the edges of any flooded trees.

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

Best Bass Spots:
Coves and off the points.

Best Bass Lures/Bait:
Plastics, nightcrawlers and crawdads.

Water Temp:
68 degrees on the surface.

Notables:
Saturday, Brad Ranstead, Lemon Grove, 1-12 Redear, Hermit Cove; Sunday, Unknown, 6 Catfish totaling 20 lbs., Bird Trees.

Prognosis:
The trout are winding down and so is the bass spawning bite. The Redear spawning bite will go on for just a short period with the cats quickly moving in to the shallows to look for good spawning grounds. We will begin to plant catfish this week. Night Fishing will start off this Friday, May 18th. The campground continues to draw great people with a fairly high occupancy so make your reservations online today.
